Camera settings:

Frame Rate

For all of the interviews and b roll we shot it in 24fps.
At the start of the filming I didn't understand frame rates but now I feel like I fully understand them.
We chose 24fps so we could get the cleanest look with natural motion blur. We didn't use any other
frame rate because we didn't plan any slow motion 

Shutter Speed

Unfortunately I messed up a few interviews in this regard. It isn't very important because there
wasnt alot of motion in our interviews and b roll so motion blur wasn't very common anyways but still.
I did not understand at the time that the shutter speed should be 2x the frame rate in order to get
natural motion blur. I just adjusted it to find the best exposure. Not great practise but it isn't very
noticeable. 

Aperture

We were using a very fast lense so it was very easy to get a good exposure whether indoor or outdoor.
I went a bit crazy with the bokeh and shot almost all of the interviews at f1.8. I just love the look
of the subject separation even though f1.8 isn't this lense’s sharpest aperture. 

Audio settings

Audio

For all of the interviews we recorded our audio in .WAV. This is because wav is uncompressed and
we knew that we would be making adjustments to the audio in post so this seemed like the right
decision. I did not use the auto level setting because I wanted to get used to manually setting
the level.
