When the latest God of War game was announced, fans revealed in the fact that the series

was jumping ships to a different kind of mythology; the Norse mythology.

It turned out to be a wise departure from the Greek mythos that we've been accustomed

to from the franchise.

But this game marks some pretty big changes for Kratos, not only in character, but also

in the game's mechanics, and many found the Norse setting quite refreshing.

Shortly before the game was released, director Cory Barlog brought up some thoughts on later

games in the franchise that got a lot of people excited.

In an interview with Game Informer, Barlog stated, "The Greek games were the greek

era of God of War.

Moving on, the next mythological belief system he interacts with became the Norse era of

God of War.

But we may end up going on to the Egyptian era and the Mayan era and so on and so forth."

Yeah, that's a pretty big deal!

Talk of other mythologies sparked even more so once the game was released, thanks to a

piece of a wall panel found in Tyr's Vault.

On the panel, four symbols are featured, one being the iconic Greek Omega that the series

is known for.

One was the Celtic Triskelion, another the Ja[anise symbol of Hachiman, and the third

the Egyptian Eye of Horus.

When asked about this Barlog said to Kotaku, "I've always looked at this universe like

our world.

The geography separates the cultural mythologies.

The cultural mythologies are stories of the zero-point to present day.

These are the birth and the origin of these cultures."

The panel indicates the Tyr was capable of traveling to these other worlds.

Tyr was a giant.

Kratos clearly traveled from the Greek realm to the Norse one.

So considering those two points, Atreus most definitely would have the capacity to learn

how to do the same.

Back at E3 2016, Barlog had stated that the team was into the idea of doing an Egyptian

setting.

I quote, "Egyptian mythology is about the pharaohs as the embodiment of the gods on

earth and there's a lot more about civilization.

It's less isolated, less barren.

Having too much around distracts from that central theme of a strange in a strange place."

Considering the team's enthusiasm towards Ancient Egypt, if the series were to start

expanding after the Norse Era, it seems likely that the team would choose to go the Egyptian

route.

So, with all of that information, what can we gauge about a hypothetical God of War game

set in Ancient Egypt?

What would it entail?

Well for starters, let's look at the roster of gods from Egyptian mythology.

We have Osiris, Isis, Ra, Horus, Bes, Bast, Set, Nekhbet, Anubis, Shu, Nephthys, Sobek,

Serqet, Khonus, Babi, Tawart, Geb, and Nut.

But there's a few of these that are pretty important players in the mythos.

Ra is the sun god, the first pharaoh of the world, with each day his golden sun ship sailing

across the sky, traveling through the underground world of Duat during the night, fighting off

monsters.

After many centuries, Ra became old and senile, and gave his throne to Osiris, heading up

to the heavens instead.

But more on him in a second.

Next are Geb and Nut, the god of the earth and goddess of the sky.

These two were very much in love, but Ra had a prophecy that their children would overthrow

him one day, so he did everything he could to keep them apart.

That didn't pan out though, and they had five children, the oldest being Osiris.

Osiris replaced Ra, becoming a wise and kind pharaoh.

Osiris was the god that taught the Egyptian people how to become a civilization, teaching

them about agriculture.

This is what Barlog meant about distractions; much of the Egyptian mythology is tied to

the people and the growth of their civilization.

Anywho, his brother Set became jealous of him, tricked him into lying down in a coffin,

which he then cut up into pieces and scattered all over Egypt.

Osiris' wife Isis managed to find them all and put him back together, but Osiris wasn't

the same; instead, he became the god of the underworld, sitting in judgment of souls.

Speaking of, Isis is the goddess of magic.

She's clever, but also ambitious.

She's the one who tricked Ra into retiring his position by poisoning him with a magic

snake, forcing him to reveal his secret name to her so she could have control over him.

She's also the one who convinces her son Horus to take revenge on Set for Osiris'

death.

Set is one of the big baddies in this mythology.

The god of desert, storms and straight up evil, he's considered the strongest among

them and is full of trickery.

But, it was only after Ra's departure that he became evil, having helped the sun god

during his reign to keep back the armies of the chaos serpent Apep.

Horus would challenge him when the young god grew to manhood, making him known as the Avenger,

becoming Pharaoh himself since his father Osiris no longer could.

The mortal pharaohs of Egypt would go on to be considered descendants of Horus.

So all in all, there's some solid family trouble and toil going on between the Egyptian

gods.

And we all know how familial ties tend to play out when it comes to the God of War franchise.

That being said, there are plenty of 'friendly gods' in the mythos so we may see some more

friends rather than just an onslaught of foes.

So how would Kratos and Atreus play into this?

Well, if some of the speculations are correct, Atreus will eventually take over for his father

in the series, which would open up the possibilities in terms of his interactions with the Egyptian

gods.

Well, for starters, even though we've been promised by the God of War team that this

game won't be the last we see of Kratos, there is a very strong possibility that the

Norse Era will be his last; he'll be totaling around 10 games by that point.

Considering that the series has shown with its latest installment that it's not afraid

of change, boldly switching up the approach for God of War is not the only story but also

in mechanics, having another drastic change occur down the road isn't something that's

unimaginable.

Atreus could very well become our new protagonist in the Egyptian Era.

If that were the case, what would his mission be?

Well, let's look at the themes that the games have juggled in the past; revenge, controlling

one's rage, and, of course, family dynamics.

Atreus (or Kratos, for that matter) will likely be thrust into some sort of immortal conflict.

Perhaps Atreus finds himself romantically involved with one of the gods?

Or, like his father, the gods may intervene in his life and harm someone he's close

to?

Perhaps that's how Atreus becomes our protagonist; Kratos is killed off by the likes of Set.

The timeline for this potential series of games is also up for debate; it seems likely

that all of this godly family drama would have already passed when Kratos and Atreus'

story begins in their realm.

This is because the time period that the God of War team seemed interested in was one in

which the Egyptian civilization was prominent; that distraction Barlog spoke of when deciding

to go with Norse mythology instead.

Enough of when it would take place; how about where?

There's no doubt that we'd see Memphis as one of the game's settings.

Thebes and Abydos are other likely candidates.

Surely some of the action would take place along the Nile, and if Osiris is involved,

we'd definitely see the underworld come to life.

Weapons are also a big part of the God of War franchise.

The Blades of Chaos and the leviathan ax are very much integral to the cultures of their

eras in the series.

So it's safe to assume that if a God of War game were to take place in Ancient Egypt,

that Kratos or Atreus would wield something distinct of that time period.

We're talking the likes of a Khopesh sword, reed arrows, or a fan ax, which appeared in

Egyptian hieroglyphics although archaeologists never actually found one in the flesh.

Maybe even the Hyksos war chariot would make an appearance.

And what kinds of enemies would you be fighting with these weapons?

Mummies may be the main enemy type that you'd have to plow through and seem like the most

obvious choice.

Grave robbers, depending on the time period, may also be present, and in terms of mythological

beasts, there would no doubt be a giant serpent or two eager to ingest you whole.

So, with all that in mind, if there were to be a God of War game set in Ancient Egypt,

how much of this do you think would likely play into the game's narrative and the world?

Do you think the Norse Era will be the end of Kratos, or is he just too important for

Santa Monica to want to replace him with his son?

What is the Best CINEMATIC Shutter Speed for Video – How Film Shutter Angles Affect the Film Look - Duration: 7:42.

That's your shutter, and be forewarned there's gonna be a lot of numbers, a lot of fractions.

So get your thinking hat on, let's do this.

Hey everyone, Camber here, welcome back.

Today we are talking about shutter speed and how it affects your video.

And if you're new here, this channel is all about teaching you how to use your camera

to make good videos, so if that's you, consider subscribing.

Before we get started, know that frame rate and shutter speed are NOT the same thing.

Your frame rate is the amount of individual frames recorded per second, whereas your shutter

speed is the length of time that each of those frames is exposed to light.

The shutter is a physical mechanism in front of your camera sensor that moves out of the

way to expose your sensor to light for a certain period of time and then moves back in front

of your sensor to stop the exposure of that frame.

And this controls how long the light hits your camera sensor.

So a longer exposure will result in more light hitting your camera sensor and a brighter

image, and a shorter exposure time will result in less light hitting the sensor and a darker image

The shutter speed is displayed on your camera as fractions of a second.

And since stops of light are based on a doubling or halving of the amount of light let in when

taking a photo or video, you can know exactly how any change in shutter speed will affect

your exposure because any doubling or halving of your shutter speed will result in a one-stop

change of light.

So if your current shutter speed is set to 1/400 of a second and you're on the "-1" on

your exposure meter, then changing your shutter speed to 1/200 of a second will result in

your exposure meter going to "0" because you divided your previous shutter by 2, which

would keep the shutter open twice as long and double the amount of light let in.

Conversely, if your shutter speed was set to 1/400 of a second and you were on the "+2"

on your exposure meter, then changing the shutter speed to 1/800 of a second would result

in the meter going to "+1" because you doubled the speed letting in half as much light.

You would then need to double the shutter speed again to 1/1600 of a second in order

to decrease by one more stop of light and bring your exposure meter to "0."

And aside from changing the length of time that light hits your sensor, the shutter speed

also has a stylistic effect in changing the motion blur of your images.

So with a very fast shutter speed, any motion in your shot gets frozen and looks very crisp;

but with a very slow shutter speed, any motion that's in your shot begins to get blurred.

And with photography you can choose any shutter speed you want depending on the style

you're going for, however with video you are much more limited.

The most common shutter speeds used in video are based on the 180 degree rule, which is

choosing a shutter speed that is doubled your frame rate meaning that you would use a shutter

speed of 1/60 of a second if you were shooting at 30 frames per second.

And as you'll find in many areas of video, many common practices come from the days of using film.

Film motion cameras used a physical rotary shutter where part of the shutter was a hollow

semicircle, and that's where the degrees came from.

During the first 180 degrees of rotation, the film was exposed, and during the second

180 degrees of rotation, the film was covered with no exposure to the film.

At this time the film was advanced to the next frame because film cameras need time

to physically move the film down for the next exposure, and because of this there couldn't

be shutter angles higher than 180 degrees for film.

The shutter then was limited to allowing an exposure time that was half that of the frame rate.

So if you could shoot at one frame per second, the shutter could only allow for half a second

of light with the shutter being at an angle of 180 degrees.

You could have shutter angles less than 180 degrees letting in less light, but this would

also change the look of your video.

And although current camera no longer control shutter speed using a rotary shutter anymore,

the shutter angle terminology has continued as a simple standard way of describing the

appearance of motion blur in video.

So let's take another look at the rotary shutter so we can look at some of the basic shutter

angles and determine how to calculate your shutter speed.

So we'll use 24 frames per second as our frame rate in these examples.

Since 360 degrees is the maximum exposure you can get, 360 will be your base number

and you'll divide any of the lower shutter angles into 360 and then multiply the result

of that by your frame rate to arrive at the shutter speed you'll need for that shutter angle.

So for a 360 shutter angle, 360 divided by itself would be 1.

So at 24 frames per second, you would get 1/24 of a second for your shutter speed.

Then at 180 degrees, that goes into 360 twice.

So then you would multiply your frame rate by 2 giving you 1/48 of a second for your shutter speed.

Going further for a 90 degree shutter angle, that goes into 360 four times.

So then you multiply your frame rate by 4 giving us 1/96 of a second.

Continuing on to 45 degree shutter angle, that goes into 360 eight times.

So we'll multiply 24 frames per second by 8, and that gives us our shutter speed for

a 45 degree angle at 24 frames per second.

Now, you're not gonna find these precise shutter speeds on DSLRs, so you'll just have to round

up to the closest one you can find.

But you get the idea on how to calculate your shutter speed for these various shutter angles.

But using a 360 degree shutter angle results in a slower shutter speed that gives a lot

more motion blur than you're used to seeing.

And using a 90 degree or 45 degree shutter angle results in a fast shutter speed giving

a series of crisp, choppy looking frames when played back that's usually referred to as

the cheap, video-y look.

Now, having crisp frames sounds like a good thing from a photography standpoint because

blurry frames typically look bad in a photo.

But if you take 24 of those, put them back-to-back and play them in one second, it starts to look pretty natural.

And the reason for that is because our eyes naturally see motion blur, which you can see

just from waving your hand around in front of your face.

Your hand doesn't look crisp throughout the movement; there's motion blur there.

And so the 180 degree shutter angle most closely resembles what we see naturally.

And of course to every rule there is an exception, and this is no different.

Other shutter angles can be used for effect.

If done carefully and well, they can enhance your story, and we'll talk about reasons to

use other shutter angles in a different video.

But for now to get your videos looking most like what you're used to seeing in movies,

using 24 frames per second as your base frame rate, just double that to 48; so round that

up to 1/50 and that'll be your shutter speed at 24 frames per second.

And if you're shooting at a higher frame rate, simply double that frame rate and then round

to the next closest number in order to get your shutter speed for that frame rate.

And that's all for shutter speed so if you made it this far, hit that like button and

let me know down below if you have any more questions about shutter speed.

It was a lot of numbers and angles and calculations, so if you are confused, let me know and

I'll help try to clear it up more down below.

something is to practice.

So get out there and film something.

What Should I Look for in Stock Trading Software? - Duration: 4:36.

- What should you look for in stock trading software?

Quite a bit.

This is the make or break kind of piece to your trading puzzle.

There's a lot of bad software out there.

There's a lot of bad platforms, and frankly, I got fed up with it.

That's why we created StocksToTrade, because this is the one platform that is made for

low price stock trading.

Obviously most platforms have all the same stuff, like news, charts, level two, all integrated.

The difference that you have to think about with penny stock trading, if you're gonna

become a penny stock trader, is that most platforms don't give a shit about penny stocks.

So, many of the biggest movers literally just will not show up on the platform.

If you're looking for big percent gainers, if you compare stocks to trade, big percent

gainers versus other platforms, other platforms will miss some OTC stocks, some pink sheet

stocks, stocks that are traded very low price, versus this platform is specifically designed

for us.

That's why we created it.

I tried working with other platforms.

I didn't say, "Hey I want to create a platform.

"I want to spend millions of dollars and years "of fucking hassle."

I came to this conclusion only because we tried working with other platforms, and no

one wanted to focus on penny stocks.

The whole world, in case you don't realize this by now, hates on penny stocks.

Therein lies the opportunity, because all the richest, all the most knowledgeable, all

the best traders that I know, ignore this niche.

So your competition are fucking idiots.

Picture the hyenas in The Lion King.

Like Ed, that's the typical penny stock trader.

Ed.

If you go to my conference, the most popular thing at my conference very year is when we

give out free pens.

If I hold up a pen, all the little hyenas are loving it, for a stupid little thing that's

made in China for three cents, and they're just dumb hyenas.

It's not their fault, they're trying to scrape by, like they're living off scraps.

That's what most penny stock traders are.

So, thinking about all this, if you have a platform that has tools and news and social

media scanning, where you can actually search through Twitter, you can search through all

of social media, using filters.

There's also 40 plus filters built in, scanning stocks, the biggest percent gainers, intraday,

over three days, over five days, these are my 40 plus scans that I use everyday to find

the hottest stocks.

That is what is most needed in a platform.

You need to use this to find the best trades.

If you use a platform that is sub-par, if you use something that is not specifically

designed for this, you might miss a really good trade, and I hate seeing that, I hate

underappreciated opportunities, underutilized strategies.

I hate missed opportunities, so use StocksToTrade.

There's so many videos on it, there's tutorials, my student Tim Bowen who's a part time trader,

is the lead trainer on StocksToTrade.

If you check out StocksToTrade Pro, he'll help you get all into the platform in ways

that are really beneficial to you.

We're just getting started.

There's gonna be broker integration, there's so much more stuff, paper money where you

can actually practice with fantasy cash.

That's very good for beginners, too.

So, as we build StocksToTrade more, you're gonna love it.

So start using it today.

Start getting used to it, because it does take some time to learn a new platform, and

I don't want you missing out.

I don't want you missing opportunities.

That's the only platform that I would use.

It's in my own best interest to create my most successful students.

It's good for my ego, it's good for my business, it's good for you.

So, please don't fight me on this, use StocksToTrade.

We built it for you to make life easier.

In the past I've had 30 websites that I had to use to research stocks.

You don't have to use any of that anymore.

It's all built into StocksToTrade.

You're welcome.

Whilst Savanna Darnell, Grace Wardle, Charlie Williams, Kazimir Crossly, Ellie Jones and Darylle Sergeant will make themselves at home in Casa Amor, Jordan Adefeyisan, Charlie Brake, Frankie Foster, Jack Fowler, Alex Miller and Dean Overson will be ruffling a few feathers with their arrival in the first villa

I met his brother and mates. "I don't know how he'll feel when he sees me walk in

When I look at him, I do still think there is something there but I would never go back there

Here's what the badge Jeremy Corbyn was wearing at PMQs represents - Duration: 2:04.

</form> Eagle-eyed viewers of Prime Minister's Questions today will have noticed Labour MPs wearing large badges

Many MPs - from backbenchers right up to Jeremy Corbyn himself - were wearing the pins to mark an anniversary very close to the hearts of Labour Party members

Every now and again, Members of Parliament wear badges bearing messages to highlight important causes and to mark certain dates - particularly at PMQs, which is the most watched session of Parliament every week

But despite the large badges and huge lettering on them, it wasn't entirely clear what the badges were there to represent

Here's what they were for: They were to mark the 70th Anniversary of the NHS It is 70 years since Labour Health Minister Aneurin Bevan unveiled his ambitious plans to bring free healthcare to all

The 1946 National Health Service Bill was born out of a long-held ideal that cradle to grave medical treatment should be available to everybody, regardless of wealth

Two years later, in July 1948, the NHS was born, paid for entirely by taxation. And seven decades on, with the exception of some charges such as prescriptions and dental services, medical treatment remains free at the point of use for all 64

6 million residents of the UK. On June 30, up to 100,000 people are expected to descend on the capital to mark 70 years since the NHS was founded

Coach loads of colourful demonstrators will arrive from all corners of the country

Families will celebrate the great achievements and founding principles of a service which saw Britain lead the world

But it will also be a protest against the brutal cuts and privatisation which has left our treasured NHS on its knees
