15 April 2010

Today I learned:
Lighting- cloudy days are the most versatile. They can either make images pop or make them more mundane. There is no glow or backlight that needs to be counter balanced. 
Cameras- how to use a camera and the pitfalls/ possible trouble shooting tips.
Still images - can be very useful and very interesting when coming up with footage for our videos. There isn't necessarily a need to be complex when it comes to shooting as long as the lighting and camera angles are well thought out.
*****white balance, stabilization, exposure, manual focus
Student example (phobias...cul_vid_jwalker_final.mov)- Narrative/Documentary about a traumatic story about a child and growing up with a fear of cockroaches and someone else with a fear of under the bed. The narrator is telling a story that is becoming distorted in certain areas to emphasize the idea of fear and phobias along with the lighting which hides the the figure telling story, and make us question what's going on in the frame.
