Video Exposure

The exposure of your footage or video is affected by the amount of light that reaches the sensor your camera. During the days of film camera, a mechanism was physically placed in front of the film. So when you took a photo, the mechanism moves and it allows light to hit the film for a time. Then the mechanism would move back to place to block the light again. And that is how you literally expose the film to light.

Due to the advance technology, there are already built in features in your cameras that work together to control the exposure of your footage. These are the aperture, shutter speed, and the gain or ISO.

In your videos there are times that you want a lot of light, and sometimes, very little. For example, lots of light a mountain scene at noon or not much light in an abandoned building scene at night. If you got the exposure wrong, your mountain scene at noon will look like you are seeing it through a sunglasses and your abandoned building at night won’t be spooky.
