PRELIMINARY TASK: review

-

 We were asked to work on an interview in class and this was exciting for me as it mean ti got more time learning infant and behind the camera 

we first set up the green screen which wasn't too difficult as we just had to pull up to for the screen to stand and we didn't have to particularly place it in a certain place as it was just going to be used as the background of the interview 

we then set up the camera with the stands , then I tested the camera to make sure all was well before we went ahead shooting where I found that my sound wasn't working which was very concerning but eventually I realised I had plugged the sound into the wrong .........

we then got the lights out and the first problem we faced was where we wanted the lights didn't have a socket near it so we had to go look for an extension cable so that we could get the lighting just right where we where able to play around with the light exposures where at first the 2 sides of the actors face was lit but the middle had a shadow then I moved it to get it perfect. 

I then had the idea of the actor walking in which I had seen in many documentaries and I wanted to incorporate that into my interview , my actor then walked in introduced themselves then I cut there 

I then went to change my camera angle before I asked the first question to give the audience another perspective where I quickly realised how hard it would be to be asking questions and operating the camera as there would be some key moments where they have some facial expression or some hand gestures which I would need to zoom in on to get the best shot for my interview 


Here is a picture of Mrs M giving us pointers on what to work on and ideas

(I used mr A as a reference points as Sean wanted to capture these pictures for me )



















A Timelapse of the whole process of setting up for the interview : 







This is the final set in all its glory with 3 lights to make sure the subject is well lit 
we eventually angled the chair in different directions to compensate for the different camera angles 



This is me ( the director ) setting up the camera and making sure everything was working so that we didn't have any setbacks when we where ready to start shooting 


This is an image of the camera while the interview was going on , as you can see I'm not in shot

Imran Ismail  Critical Reflection Essay  Advanced Portfolio  How did your research inform your products and the way they use or challenge conventions ? My product upheld some of the codes and conventions of documentary like vox pops and interview with participants (gives us a peek into the mind of the subject whilst also seeking the perspective of others - entertainment, personal identity and education - uses and Grats). I was really inspired by Netflix’s ‘Drive to Survive’ (2019), where we have a subject walking in and talking to the director while being captured, but there are no breaks in the interview and it just looks like a conversation that is clipped to add to the film, hand held camera(where i used it to make the audience feel like they were on the court with the subject where the excitement or the share power of the dunk ) ,emotive music and voiceover(use in the montage scene to help inspire ) The docuseries “The Last Dance”  (2020) which was produced by Ja...

  lighting in horror  low-key lighting  Horror movies frequently employ low-key lighting because of the effects it produces. The dark tone and shadows created by this lighting are appropriate for a horror movie; they increase anxiety because of the film's eerie, enigmatic mood and limit how much of the setting and people are revealed. Through the use of shadows and muted colours, it establishes the tenor, the mood, and a perilous relationship with mystery. (an example of low key lighting used in a film) high-key lighting  apart from low-key lighting horror producers can also use high key lighting , this helps to :  - The lights utilised produce a light hue and are particularly bright.  - To illuminate the entire scene, the lights are frequently placed high above.  - Because the lights are placed high above, they don't need to be changed, making it simple to film continuously.  - Makes use of several hot light sources (fluorescent soft lights)....
