For this week’s task, we began to look at Lighting Techniques and the 3-Point Lighting Technique in Skills Development. On Monday, we were introduced to some basic Lighting Techniques used in TV and Film. Some of these included, Hard Light, Soft Light and Harsh Light. We also learned about why different types of lighting is used. Some of these include, to illuminate the subject, to communicate the time of day, and to guide the viewers attention to a certain subject in the shot. We also briefly recovered how Colour Temperature is used in Lighting. We then looked at 3-Point Lighting and why and how it is used. 3-Point Lighting is when three different cameras are used to create a basic lighting set up. These lights include a Key Light, a Fill Light, and a Back Light. The Key Light, which is placed to the side of the camera, provides the main source of light in a scene. The Fill Light, which is placed on the opposite side to the Key Light, provides a dimmer light to the other side of the subject, creating a shadow effect. Finally, the Back Light is placed behind the subject, lighting the subject from the back, often creating a silhouette effect. On Tuesday, we demonstrated our new knowledge when taking some example photographs using the 3-Point Lighting method. In the Television Studio, we learned how to set up the three lights stated above safely and correctly. We took multiple images which used each light separately, and then some photos with two lights mixed at one time. We also took an image using all three lights. After this, we experimented with using the lights by adding some coloured gels to each light. We used multiple different colours, such as, orange, green, pink, red and blue, to create a coloured reflection in our image onto the subject. On Wednesday, I reviewed the images and explained what had gone well and what we could do next time to make our images even better.
Furthermore, On Monday, we started to look at the different roles in TV and Film Production in the Media Industry section. We concentrated on the three stages of production – Pre-Production, Production, and Post-Production. We were able to identify each role and research what each job role involves. On Tuesday, we made a ‘Film Production Infographic’ using the creative platform, Canva, which allowed us to create a list of job roles and their descriptions. I found this task very useful as it allowed me to identify the different job roles that are available in the industry and start to think about which one I would like to investigate further. Also, this week, we continued our ‘Who Am I’ project task when taking a music test. We listened to music samples and answered some questions based on our emotions. We then received results about how music effects our emotions, concentration, and interests.
Overall, I have found the tasks very interesting this week and I know that the things that I have learned will help contribute to what job I would like to do in the future.
