That "movie mode" hidden inside menu system of your new DSLR? It's not only a novelty feature. It's nothing short of new, democratizing, disruptive moviemaking technology, as important as the invention associated with color film, 16mm, as well as HDTV.
Digital cinematography is changing so rapidly these days that a printed publication on the subject will likely be obsolete by the time it actually reaches store shelves; this is especially valid when it comes to the quick release cycle involving DSLRs. Up-to-date information are available on online discussion boards, but forums don't have the organizing principles of a book, and as a result it will take a ludicrously long time in order to piece together reliable information (My partner and i spent months forum-surfing to gather my own camera package deal). Thus, this guide: I am hoping it saves readers money they would've otherwise spent on an out-of-date book, and I expect it saves community forums from so many novice - sorry, "n00b" * questions.
DSLRs (categorised as HDSLRs or VDSLRs now) are a fantastic enabler on the "no film school" the front, as they are priced to own and allow aspiring filmmakers to adhere to the "buy a photographic camera and learn" lesson program. To emphasise: these cameras are not shipped to shoot movies. Their primary function remains to shoot still photos, but it just so happens which they shoot amazing online video very inexpensively, as well as for that they are worth tinkering with, hacking, and jumping through a number of hoops to utilize. And make no blunder: to modify these still cameras to behave like "real" movie cameras, there are many of hoops to jump through (thus the length of this informative guide), but you will be compensated by using a camera that many of us could merely dream of a few years ago, for cheaper than any of us imagined.
This guide assumes some elementary knowledge of moving images, such as exposure, shutter velocity, focal length, and also frame rate. The idea focuses on the specialized challenges unique to be able to DSLR cinematography - it will not teach you how to lighting scenes, stage camera movements, or cook a full English morning meal. It will, however, provide you with a huge jump start inside figuring out how to make gorgeous, inexpensive movies using a DSLR.
When spending budget for a camera deal, assume the camera itself is going to make up 1 / 3 (or less) of your respective overall expenses. This is just a rough rule of thumb, but if you have $3k to spend, never target a camera that costs $2,600; look at a $1k camera body then budget for lenses, tripod, audio equipment, etc. and find out where you end up. DSLRs are capable of capturing great moving images, they're by no means optimal for movie making when it comes to features or ergonomics; as a result a plethora of add-ons are necessary to create a DSLR behave like a new "legitimate" movie camera. Unfortunately, much of the add-on information mill targeted at accessorizing digital cameras that cost more than once as much as a DSLR; whenever your camera costs $40k, it makes sense to spend $2k on a matte box; when your digital camera itself cost $2k, it's a bit harder to justify. The guide focuses on finding good quality equipment on a reasonable budget.
