In my first photo shoot I had an issue with the setup of my photos, I was shooting on a Tuesday for the whole day and  when I got there in the morning the studio wasn’t set up,  because of this I had to spend the first hour and a half lesson setting up the studio and finding equipment that I had booked, however out of two of the projectors I had booked one of them was already handed out for use so only one was available  so I had to do the projections with just one projector. However I did like the outcome of just one projector instead of two because I don’t think that he would’ve worked anyway. In this photo shoot my setup was going to be to have a projector on a table,   A tripod on other side of the table with the camera over the top of the projector so that you don’t get the project in the image book we get the whole projection in the photo, I was meant to have two whiteboards as the background so that the projection would show up properly I was not able to get these two boards as they hadn’t been prepared   But I did manage toUse a plain white wall in the small studio. Unfortunately this will had some pipes on them so we had to shoot in between and some images have the pipes in them but only a few.

 In my second photo shoot I was able to get the set up that was booked and the room was booked at the same time so they were both available and set up.  Luckily this time it was set up and I didn’t have to take an hour to set up myself because I only had an hour and a half to shoot this as well as my models  had to leave at 3:30, Unfortunately we didn’t start actually taking the photos till 2:30 because the camera started to play up so we ended up with any an hour to take the photos.  Due to this we were only able to take half of the photos that were needed so I had to book to do another photo shoot. This photo shoot  was set up with a roll down white background I also had a tripod and camera,   This time I had the projector on a tall standing unit above I level to reduce the shadowing and make it more realistic. As I only had an hour to take the photos that were needed I had half left to do so I had to rebook The studio to take more photos but I didn’t like how the projections were coming out so I decided to do it without the photo projected onto heart and just take the image of the model and edit them  in photo shop with an overlay.

 In the third photo shoot I had a different set up to the first two because I did not have the projector.  Instead I had just a plain orange background and my models in front of this was so that I would have a vibrant background.  This  I date was given to me On feedback from one of my questionnaires and I really liked the idea of having a brighter background to show that there is a lot more acceptance with what women are fighting for these days. I used a mixture of poses and quotes that when on the models backs some of these photos were for my final piece and some i.e. the photos with quotes on models back work for the small video that will be projected in the background wanna loop. I think doing it this way works a lot better as I was able to get a clear photo and make the overall image a lot sharper and a lot more neat compare to images with the projection.  I really liked the final outcome with the orange background because it makes the image look slightly more retro an old fashion because of this I decided to add a border around the image that made it have a slight worn feeling to the overall image.  I thought this could represent that women have been fighting for a long time and even though there are a lot more opportunities for women nowadays, Women will keep fighting until equality is achieved.

Camera Techniques.

Camera Techniques. Tilted Panning  This is when you use a tripod to scale up or down a subject during the attention to different pats of the subject as you do it. For example, if i had a person i was introducing to a program and i wanted to build tension i would use a upward pan so that at you see more of the body you can try figure out who it is. You can create an upwards tilted pan, by starting the tripod tilted to the ground you can start filing the feet and slowly go up the body and viser verser. I would use a downward pan if i was scaling a build to meet a subject at the bottom of it.  This would be useful in my production if I were to create a more dominating factor to a character for example if Danny was standing in a normal frame shot he would seem less dominating, whereas ifThis camera shot was used it would be like a slow  reveal to find out Who is under his mask. Panning  This technique can also be done on a tripod you can use this technique to follow a moving object

sound effects

On Monday we got into our groups that we were in before to create the sound effects so that we could edit them in to the video. Unfortunately our in sound affects didn’t save so we could not use them, but instead another group let us used their sound and we use video converter to get siundv effects off the Internet. We started off by turning the sound off the original video so that you can hear the sound effects we created. Once that was done we found the appropriate sound effects for the moment in the scene, because we had to use sound effects off the Internet we had to use video converter and the site that we used was quite slow so we only got the sound effect of the knife stabbing. Foley is when you make a sound effect from every day item that will be added in to a movie or video in post probuction for a better sound quality.  To get the sound effects we did a workshop with different items such as to make a stabbing noise we used a knife to chop up a cabbage, we also used a bucke

 The first thing we had to do was to come up with ideas for our adverts.  As a group we were able to come up with three different ideas that we thought would work well, these ideas were to have a family playing on the kindle I’m going through all the features with some dramatic music. The second idea was to do a generic phone advert with cinematic shots of the  kinda.  The final idea in the one we chose was to make it look as if the kindle was being experimented on find out what it could do  i’m find out all the different features it has. We also added the cinematic shots from the second idea at the end with some information about the product.  So the first thing we had to do was to come up with  advert ideas the.  Were able to do this quite well in a group as we have different suggestions and we were able to narrow it down to 3 main ideas. These ideas were to have a family sitting in the living room on the kindle playing and trying to find something that they could do together with
