magazine project week 2

Things needed for a great photoshoot:
  • use a longer lens (70mm)
  • shallow depth of field (setting aperture to low F number)
  • focus on eyes
  • place muse in the best light (think about shadows)
  • balance image (layout- rule of thirds)
  • crop (emphasis) 
Lighting:

We will need three point lighting (key, fill and back). Key lighting is softened by a diffuser and gets placed at the left of the muse, this is the most natural light of the three. Fill lighting is placed at the right side of the use and is also softened with a diffuser, this will control any unwanted shadowland balance the light. Last but not least back, this can be placed behind the muse this does not have a diffuser which means that it can be used without the key and fill lights for a darker/deeper photo.


Magazine cover:

Todays session was full of chaos and excitement, we got put into groups of three to five and created a set for each individual photoshoot. I worked with Willow and Lily on my photoshoot and together we created the idea of gathering colour gels and lacing them over each artificial light to give an illusion of neon lights. For my individual photoshoot I used green, purple and orange colour gels over the Key, Fill and Back lighting systems to create an over all colour of pink. The cover of my magazine "BRICK" has a white border with the title and date in a black coloured font called "neou". the reason I have made such a neutral toned background is so that the photograph of the muse stands out to the reader.

evaluation

Overall  I was very proud of my lookbook, I feel like my skills on photoshop and InDesign have improved a lot. In terms of improvement, I could've taken a photo that incorporated all aspects of the magazine and focused more on how it would have matched the colour scheme. If I were to do this project again I would have probably painted the front cover with either acrylic or oils to draw attention, I would have wanted to show how it was unique just by looking at the cover.  The overall time it took to complete each look book page was approximately 2-4 hours due to the amount of correcting and editing I had to do. If I had to re-construct my lookbook I would have made my design less complicated. Also, I would have used more models to add more diversity to the magazine. The Text on pace two could have been slightly darker as you cannot read most of it due to the colour of the background. As far as improvement is concerned, The portrait pictures could be of better quality and c...

Many A Moon: foley, Cinematography etc.

Foley: I didn't get to record Foley for my short film as there were no harsh sounds that needed emphasising as I had a on-cam mic attached. If I had I would have emphasised the sounds of the chair and the felt tip against white board. Cinematography: I picked a space In the collage that had filtered sun light seeping through into the room which in the end created a more eery atmosphere. I ended up tinting the film a very dark blue colour. List of sounds: These are the list of sounds that I wanted to include in my film footsteps coming up to the doctors office - Getting someone to walk across wooden floorboards leaves rustling in the forest - rustle the branches wind blowing - Go record this near a river  door opening and closing - Hold the mic really close to the door hinges and open the door  pen on whiteboard - Hold the mic really close to the felt tip dragging across the board.

annotated scripts

Image
Down bellow is my annotated script. I had to make a fair few adjustments due to location changes and difficulties. I could not shoot the final scene as my location and cast were not avalible. Also I could not get hold on the correct costumes that were necessary. However my cast members did improvise the scene were the doctor is explaining the symptoms to Cedric to make it into the time bracket.
