Studio and street photography

Studio...

Lighting:
We applied an orange gel and a purple gel on the key light and the fill light We left the back light white and turned down the brightness setting to half way so that the exposure won't go funny.  Altogether we used:
  • Fill lighting 
  • Key lighting 
  • Back lighting
Exposure:
Because the lighting was so bright, it took a few trail and error photographs to get the perfect exposure and focus. 

Experiences:
I wanted my photos to turn out with a slight hint of bold colour yet I wanted the background to be white. This, I feel was very close to how I imagined it turning out. 





Street...

The lighting the I used for my street photography was natural lighting. Getting the perfect photos to put on my last 2 magazine covers was overall a lot simpler then the studio photography as I had to use artificial lighting.

One big problem was that the sun kept appearing from the other side of the building that i was shooting in front of which resulted in exposure changes.
I added a pink tint to the photo because the background of my magazine is the same colour as the blue in the photograph this will mean that I will have a complimentary colour scheme.

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.
