At Dream Factory, we have a studio team of photography and videography specialists. Seasoned videographer Kyle O'Donnell who has led studio production shoots with over 150 startups gives us a lesson in what “Aperture” actually means.

In the world of videography, aperture refers to the opening in the lens that allows light to pass through the camera to create an image. It is measured in f-stop numbers, which can be a bit confusing to all founders without a creative background. A lower f-stop number (e.g. f/1.8) means a wider aperture and more light, while a higher f-stop number (e.g. f/16) means a narrower aperture and less light. We've created this taster video to demonstrate what these f-stop numbers actually look like in practice.
When you film with a wider aperture, you allow more light to enter the camera, which can be useful in low-light situations or when you want to achieve a shallow depth of field. This means your subject will be in focus while the background will be blurred, creating a cinematic effect.
One use case example for filming with a wider aperture is in portrait videography. By using a wide aperture, you can blur the background and draw attention to the subject, making the video more visually appealing. Another use case is in macro videography, where you want to focus on a small subject and blur the surrounding area.
Understanding aperture is an important aspect of videography, as it can greatly affect the final output of your video. By experimenting with different f-stop numbers and understanding their effects, you can create more visually stunning and impactful videos.
With a Dream Factory membership, our studio team take care of all of the technical aspects so you get the best possible output. Quality content is your startup's unfair advantage against the big players at the early stage.
