Lighting Practice

In this lesson we learnt about the different ways lighting effects how your camera shots will turn out. Our first example of this is 3-point lighting, it is very commonly used in theatre, film, photography and video production. It consists of a key light, fill light and backlight, which perfectly creates depth and dimension, provides clear visibility and and a polished look.
Secondly, we practiced shadowing, this can establish mood, particularly in a thriller, it defines the shape and forms an object, directs viewers attention and creates an atmosphere. Hence why it is used in thrillers and suspenseful movies a lot. We also tried moving our subject close vs far away from the camera, in order to make her shadow look bigger/smaller.

Below are some photos which shows our work and practice:

Wide shots provide context, shows physical and emotional state between conflicting characters. Full shots show the subject in their entirety. Medium full shots single out a subject, whilst still showing environment. Where a cowboy shot is a heroic take on the mid full shot. Medium shots frame the shoulders and head of your subject. Close up shots frames subjects head, and extreme close ups single out a specific detail of the subject  https://youtu.be/Dg1rTGlzGWs?feature=shared Media language means we can see how companies, creators and industries code messages. Encoding is communicating ideas through signs, symbols and techniques. Technical codes are camera angles, camera movements, camera shots and audio visual texts. Some camera shots are close ups which provide tension and can be extreme. Long shots that give the characters co...
