Gel lighting

In today's lesson we were given the opportunity to experiment with gel lighting filters which can have a massive impact on the photo such as having a different feel towards the photo, a change in look and the density of the photo. Variety of different gel colors are available as seen at the examples above. (red, blue, green) combining the colors will create an excellent effects to use whilst taking photographs.  

Light Graffiti

In today's lesson as you can see above we created light graffiti. In order to achieve this we were put into a dark room and used one light pretty simple. A high fps rate (10 to 30 seconds) was used to bring these pictures to life.

Series of images which inspired me that I love

All these photos all have a similar scene to them more like. Each one using a similar prop such as the snapback. The first photo uses as what we can see a lit up cigarette to create that smokey effect around him. The first two photos can be seen as taken in a low dimmed room and most light being focused on the model itself whereas the last picture we can clearly see the model is in a white room and black and white effect has been used to make this photo stand out. These shots tell me that they have been taken in a room. Below I have attempted to recreate the images above the idea of the smoke in the room and coming out of my mouth gives off a relaxed feeling.

Shutter zoom

Shutter zoom is another effect done by zooming whilst taking a photo. From these pictures we can tell they are of shutter zoom because of how the background is set out where it is like an explosion kind of background but the subject/object is in focus, for this to be done as you are about to take the picture make sure you zoom in/out just as you are about to take it to get this effect.

Panning techniques

A panning shot is an effect done by the movement of the camera on certain settings. You can recognize a panning shot as the background is blurred out and the moving object is in focus. To do this you must follow the object with your camera and the setting has to be set to shutter priority mode which is the TV option on the dial for a cannon and S for a nikon. The preferred shutter speed is 1/30.

Writing for Film and TV - Task 1

Screenwriter

- Screenwriters are responsible for researching the story, developing the narrative, writing the screenplay, and delivering it, in the required format, to development executives. Screenwriters practice the craft of screenwriting, writing screenplays on which mass media such as films, television programs, comics or video games are based. Screenwriting is a freelance position. Screenwriters must have an in depth understanding of the story, plot and narrative and must be able to demonstrate the creative imagination required to project their vision on to the page, and to breathe life and individuality into their characters and the life choices they make. They need to write visually, using sound and dialogue to support the action in order to create a credible and internally consistent story world.

Screenwriters must be able to write a screenplay in which the reader can 'see' the film unfold cinematically in their imagination. The screenplay must therefore not only feature fascinating characters, an exciting plot, and a great premise for a marketable film, but it must also conform to the logical principles of dramatic construction, as well as to industry expectations regarding format and style. Many screenwriters also work as full or part-time "script doctors", attempting to better a script to suit the desires of a director or studio. For instance, studio management may have a complaint that the motivations of the characters are unclear or that the dialogue is weak.
