One of the most important things I'm learning in this video shooting journey is the use of lighting. I'm beginning to see that lighting actually helps the camera find its focus points and remove blurry points on the subject's face and clothing. Most of the time when I shoot, I use AV option and maintain Automatic Focus (AF) on the 18-55mm camera lens. However, this next video that I'm doing, on the rural health program, is the next step as I begin shooting in manual mode and use natural sun light combined with a small camera mounted LED light, especially for the interviews. I'm using the Manual mode on the camera and use the Manual Focus (MF) on the camera lens as well. I'm excited to see the participant's faces and voices are clear as I edit the video using Adobe Premier Pro. Well, I need to save some money first so I can maybe purchase a good quality lighting system such as the Godox Softbox.
Let the story telling begin!
