ANGLE OF VIEW [Film Technology]



ANGLE OF VIEW
[Film Technology]

Generally the coverage of a lens, its horizontal lens angle/ vertical lens angle (more specifically, it is the angle subtended by the diagonal of the camera tube target at the emergence of the lens. The video camera lens sees in 4:3 proportions. So its vertical angle of view is three quarters of its horizontal angle of view. The longer the focal length, the narrow the lens angle. Another name is field of view. See camera lens. The field of view is determined by the focal length, which differs with each lens. The standard lens or normal lens covers a field of view which the human eye normally sees. With 35 mm cameras this is accepted by 50mm lens and with 16 mm cameras the 25 mm lens is the equivalent with super 8 a focal length of 12 mm lens is normal. To produce greater interest in the scene lenses of different focal length can be used, ranging from a 1000 mm lens for a close-up of a distant football player, to a lens of just a few mm focal length for a fish eye view, including almost both ears of the camera operator. Field of view achieved with different focal length lenses-distance between camera and subject remaining the same. The camera sees a rectangular portion of the scene, in 4-by-3 proportions. The viewer’s impressions derive from what they see in this restricted area.
