Hello It's Charlotte!

I have now changed groups and I am now working with Mae, Candice and Imogen!

• Here is the URL from my old blog: http://chbfjcjb.blogspot.co.uk/ 
• Our Prelim Video doesn't seem to be showing, so I will put it on this post when I am next in the editing suite! 
• The shots all posted on Wednesday the 30th, i also helped to create those, so that is also my work as well the work on my old blog

The 6 shots demonstrating different lighting techniques

Frontal key only: It is usually the strongest and has the most influence on a scene. It is
 important when doing this to place the camera on the one side of the
 subject so that the one side is well lit and the other has some shadow.

  


Key light and fill: This lighting can be used for any normal shot for example a
conversation between to people as it shows the whole subject and nothing
is hidden in shadow.

Bottom up lighting: This type of shot creates shadow and atmostphere- it can make a subjects
face look evil and dark.



Top lighting only: As the light in this shot is shining from above the subject it can make the
person appear small and innocent if this is how you want the character
to be portrayed in a scene.

Side light only: In this shot the light is shining from the side of the subject this creates    
shadow to the one half of the subjects face creating mystery as if there is
 something to hide.

Backlight only: This shot is often used to hide a subjects face. The light helps separate the

subject from the background and provide a three-dimensional look.



Creating shot C from lighting homework

• We achieved this by placing the lights in front of the subject and at a high angle to create the specific lighting effect needed
• Difficulties were: finding a dark enough area to shoot in so that we didn't have any back light to distract from the subject
• We have learnt that this shot creates an eerie atmosphere as you can't see what's behind the subject

Creating Shot A from the lighting task

• We achieved this by placing lights around the room like in the image given to us. We dimmed the lighting appropriately to give one side of the subject's face more shadow than the other
• Difficulties were: trying to find the right brightness to create the image and finding an area where natural light didn't effect the shot
• We have learnt that it is important to get the light at an appropriate height to get the shadow in the right place

Creating the silhouette

• We achieved the silhouette shot by using natural light, we placed the subject in front of the natural light to create this
• The difficulties experienced were finding a dark enough area to capture the silhouette
• We have learnt that you have to keep trying different areas and camera distances to create the best silhouette possible

Examples of MOA, SRS and 180% Rule

Example 1 of Match on Action

Example 2 of Match on Action

Example 3 of Match on Action

Example of Shot Reverse Shot

Example of the 180% rule, both characters stayed on one side of the frame the whole time.
