Aperture and I.S.O.
Watch this week's video by clicking the link at the bottom of this post.
Aperture is the diameter of the hole in the lens that light enters through, and it determines the brightness of the image. The larger your aperture is, the shallower your depth of field will be. Aperture is expressed as f/a number, and a larger aperture is expressed as a smaller number.
I.S.O. is how much light is needed for your camera to produce an image with the proper exposure. The larger your aperture is, the lower you can set the I.S.O., which will result in less grain. Grain usually becomes noticeable when using an I.S.O. of 1600 or above.

Tips and Techniques for Filming a Vlog
This week we look at a few tips and techniques for setting up a vlog-style shot. Scroll to the bottom of this post to watch the video.
1. Lighting should generally not be intended to appear dramatic. Consistency is the top priority. Tips: if you are using a bright light, don't get it too close to yourself to avoid being overexposed, and if the light is too harsh, try using diffusion like an umbrella on a light.
2. Leading lines are a great way to compose your frame. Find an angle with multiple lines that intersect at the point of interest (probably your face.)
3. Pick your lens wisely. A wider lens will make it easier for you to stay in frame and in focus. Turning up the aperture value of your lens will achieve a similar effect in terms of focus, but will also introduce grain into the image.
4. Depth is one of the most overlooked qualities of a shot, and it is also one of the most important qualities. For good depth, try putting more distance between yourself and the background.
5. The background itself is also very important. Do some creative production design! The YouTube Creator Academy has a great tutorial about this.
