week 10

This week we dealt with lighting. This theme is really interesting for me since i read about it from the course book. We learned the differences between three types of lighting: fill light, back light and key light. It was really nice to go through photos of different ganra and light. It was helpful for me, because i experience the world mostly by my visual sences. Through this we got a visual demonstration of how two lights differ from three, what kind of lighting is usual for a particular ganra. For exmple, for High School Drama we set that at least 4 lights are necessary to be present.
And could be only 2 for a detective film.

And we spent some time in a studio practicing the use of light. It was always attractive for me to know why and how photographers use umbrellas for shooting people, but i never had a chance to try that professionally, and now got it. And i really liked that.

Funny thing we had was trying to shoot from a chair being pushed and pulled (dolling in/out), and at the same time zooming in and out. The result of it was unexpectedly good, and i decided to use it in our second movie (i know already in which scene))

And so Thanks, Phil, for this class. I enjoyed it a lot. But i think, we could have had some more time with practicing it maybe in different places, for example outside in the garden. (of course, i know this would be quite difficult to organize because of absence of outlets outside, but still...)
