The three main areas that you should focus on when setting up your camera are the frames per second, the resolution, and the ISO. • Frames per second: A standard camera will offer 24-30fps when recording video. This number can be higher depending on the cost and technology used by the camera. In layman's words, the higher the frames per second, the smoother the video as more frames will be captured at any instance. Cinematic footage is captured at 30fps but for a drum cover, the recommended is 60fps to make sure that every movement appears crisp and tangible. It will also create more room for post edits as you will have more frames to work with at any instance. • The Resolution: Unless you have a 4k camera, the standard resolution for drum covers is 1080p or 720p. Higher resolution footage will appear more detailed compared to a low resolution. Although 4k footage seems clearer and enhanced, their file size is much larger compared to other resolutions. Do bear that in mind before committing to a project if you are short on storage space. • The ISO: In photography, ISO determines how sensitive the camera sensors and shutter are towards lighting. It also helps you control the exposure or the light gathering ability of your camera. If your setup has enough lighting, then you may want to keep this figure between 800-1200. On the other hand, if you are working in a dimly lit space, you may want to bump that figure to a decent extent.
