Intro to White Balance and Frame Rate

White Balance

Driving Question: How can I adjust white balance both in the camera and while editing?

White balance is an important part of getting the right look for your image. To put it most basically, white balance is making white look white. If white looks white, then you're pretty safe knowing that all the other colors look like they're supposed to.

Frame Rate

Driving Question: What camera settings affect slow motion?

When used appropriately, slow motion, time- and hyper-lapses can really add a lot to your story. Slowing things down as well as speeding them up is often used to change how viewers experience time, to pay attention to certain details, or, just to make something look really, really cool. This is all achieved by adjusting the frame rate (FPS) on your camera and editing it accordingly.
