B. Subjective Questions:

1. Write short notes on the following: 

(a) Aperture.

Ans: Aperture is the size of the opening in lens (Figure 2.9). Think of the lens as a window—a wide open window that lets in more light, while a little open (largely closed) window lets in less light. A wide open aperture will allow more light to fall on an image for a brighter photo, while a smaller aperture lets in less light. 

Aperture is measured in f-stops. The aperture of a lens is the diameter of the open circle or diaphragm inside a lens. This diameter is expressed as f-number, such as f/1.4 or f/16. The lower the f-number, the wider the aperture. The wider the aperture, the more light gets into the sensor. A small f-stop like f/1.8 means a wide opening, while a large f-stop like f/22 is a very narrow opening. Aperture is one of the three camera settings that determines an image exposure, or how light or dark it is. Aperture also affects how much of the image is in focus—wide apertures result in creamy, unfocused background, while narrow ones keep the image sharp.

(b) Exposure.

Ans: Exposure An image is created when the camera sensor (or film strip) is exposed to light. Exposure is how light or dark an image is. A dark photo is considered underexposed or not exposed to enough light. A light photo is overexposed or exposed to too much light. Exposure is mainly controlled through aperture and shutter speed. The shutter speed or exposure time is the length of time when the digital sensor in the camera is exposed to light. It is also the time when a camera shutter is open while taking a photograph. It is indicated as f-stop. Aperture controls the depth-of-field, which is what is in focus in the picture. Aperture can be used to draw attention to one subject by blurring the background with a wide aperture. 

(c) Focus.

Ans: When your eyes focus on a closer object, the objects far away will appear blurry. ‘Focus’, a common photography term, has the same meaning. Something that is in focus is sharp, while an object that is out-of-focus, is not sharp. Different focus areas determine if the camera is focusing on multiple points or one user-selected point. An image that is completely sharp is said to be in focus. An image that’s completely blurry is said to be unfocused.

(d) Depth of field.

Ans: Depth of field refers to how much of an image is in focus. The camera will focus on one distance, but there is a range of distance in front and behind that point that stays sharp — this is known as depth of field. Portraits often have a soft, unfocused background — this is a shallow depth of field. Landscapes, on the other hand, often have more of the image in focus — this is a large depth of field.

2. What is the difference between crane shot and aerial shot?

Ans: 

Crane shot	Aerial shot
It is a moving shot taken from a crane (a mechanical arm which carries both camera and camera operators). A crane (or ‘jimmy jib’) is a large heavy equipment  which is used for moving the camera at very high or very low level the whole arm of the jimmy jib can move up, down, left, right, driving in on action, or moving diagonally out of it.	An aerial shot is a shot taken from a flying object such as, helicopter or a drone camera.
