Sound Design- Dynamic Range and Metering


 1.What is Dynamic Range?
The dynamic range of any recording is defined as the ratio of the loudest peak to the quietest, expressed in decibels (dB). 


2. How does it affect Sound Recording?
Sound recordings  with a wide dynamic range will have a larger gap between the loudest sound and quiet sound compared to songs with more consistent sound quality.

3. Why is metering important?
Metering helps you see the gain of your instruments when you record, the loudness of your tracks when you mix and the dynamic range of your mixes when you master. 

4. How can it help us with our sound recording?
In mixing and mastering, metering is any useful visual aid that shows us where we stand.

  THE CAMERA-  APERTURE AND IRIS 1. What is aperture? Aperture is the opening of the camera lens through which light passes to enter the camera.  2.  How does it affect exposure? In large aperture, a lot of light passes through the camera lens, resulting in a brighter photograph. In small aperture, very little light enters the camera lens, resulting in a darker photograph. 3. How does it affect depth of field? A large aperture results in large amount of foreground and background blur, creating low depth of field. A small aperture results in small amount of background blur, creating greater depth of field. 4. How do you pick the right aperture for your scene?  The right aperture depends upon how much depth of field and exposure you desire in the picture. 5. Find visual examples of shallow & large depth of field (Internet) SHALOW DEPTH OF FIELD: LARGE DEPTH OF FIELD:
