Another thing I've been looking at is useful apps for filmmaking. The following is a collection of various apps that I think will be useful that have been formed from Internet research.
Apps to download
•pCAM and digital calculator
A program that gives you a field of view and depth of field and essential for hyper focal and a calculator for various things
•aspect ratio calculator
Calculates video aspect ratios and pixel ratios.
•Helios
Tracks the sun position
•pocket LD
A lighting program that offers photo metrics
•Scripts pro and and scripts free
A script writing app for phones
•Celtx script
Another script writing app

List of additional things needed for filming
The following is a list I've been working on, on additional things I need or have been recommended for shooting. This will act as a reminder as well and will
Eventually will be added to, to become a check list for when shooting starts.
•variable ND filter
•pocket level
•colour correction and white balance cards
•tape
•screwdriver/wrench
•sharpie
•dark black cloth (for covering light effecting viewfinder)
•black wrap and clamps
•white and black poster boards (for flags and bounce light)
•tape measure (got one)

Understanding DOF
I know I've been away a while but it's been spent studying I will post the stuff I've been looking at and updates on
my work soon but for now here's this thing about......
Understanding DOF
Watched a good video that helped further understand my knowledge of depth of field it explained the 3 variables that all tie in that effect the DOF
1. Aperture the more open the aperture say my 50mm 1.8 lens, at f1.8 the shallower the depth of field, the more stopped down the aperture, say f7.0
2. Distance to the subject, the closer you get to the subject the shallower the depth of field the further away you get the deeper the depth of field
3. The focal length, the longer the focal length the shallower the depth of field the shorter the focal length say on a wide angle lens the deeper the focal length.
Hyperfocal distance after a little extra reading and using to DOF calculator to help understand this the hyperfocal length works by halving the hyperfocal distance and setting the focus to the hyperfocal distance then everything from half the hyperfocal distance to infinity will be in focus.

Best ISO Settings for filming DSLR
Found this great article about that tested the levels of noise in various ISO settings when shooting video on DSLR's the article then shows how which settings are the best to use to attain the best footage on different ISO's the results were surprising one would think the lower the ISO the less grain but the article shows how the best settings to start with are 160. The following is taken from the site
-If you are shooting video with your DSLR you should use the following ISO settings:
160, 320, 640, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1250, 125, 250, 500, 1000, 1600, 2500, 2000, 3200, 4000, 5000, 6400
I’ve always used these settings. I start at 160 ISO, then 320, 640, 1250, 1600
