LO4: Manipulate the camera settings

Here I am setting up a tripod for the still scenes during the interview section of the shot film/documentary so that there is no shaking while the artist is talking, this will make sure there is nothing else happening during the shot that could cause distraction.
 

For the recording inside the artist apartment building and inside his house I went for 400 ISO so that I could let more light in as the rooms around the building and his house were only lit by either ceiling lights or lamps, I still wanted the shots to look darker but I also had to have a higher ISO so that certain scenes were visible. While I was shooting the artist outside and with his friends I used a 200 ISO setting as it was daytime and the sun was bright, this made the scenes look more cinematic to the viewers and the brighter scenes connote the artist is a happy, colourful individual that wants to bring these vibes to the viewers. As I had the brightness levels right while shooting, it left me with minimal editing during post production, as I wanted a cheep production look I also winged it in certain parts by telling myself 'the shots will do', which also has the aesthetic of cheap homemade films. There were also some scenes where the artist is out of focus but also brought into focus in the same clip, this is seen in many short films for aesthetic.
