White Balance

Image
The White Balance setting I choose to change the colour balance in my pictures, making it warmer or cooler depending on how the sort of light you're shooting in affects things.  Using Auto White Balance is the simple option, but my camera's White Balance presets give me more control over colour. The colour of the light will affect the colours in my photographs.  The camera records colours exactly as they are. That's why pictures taken under household lighting have an orange colour cast, and pictures taken at dusk or dawn have a cold, blue look. Digital cameras have 'White Balance' controls to correct these colour shifts. This adjustment happens when the camera processes and saves my pictures. For example, if you take a picture under incandescent lighting, the camera can reduce the amount of orange in the colours and boost the blue to produce more neutral colours.

DJI MAVIC PRO

Image
DJI MAVIC PRO This is an amazing and innovating camera drone. Dji have done it again, they have shown why they rule the drone market. The Mavic isn't the smallest drone they have, that drone is the Dji Spark.  The Dji has a flight time of 27 minuets, with a 12 megapixel and 4k camera attached to the drone with a 3 axis gimbal. It has a 7 KM range and a max speed of 65 KM/H.  This amazing drone will cost £1,000, there is a opportunity if you want to get the  Mavic Pro Fly More Combo this cost £ 1,359. Personally this is a perfect prise for what you get. This would be useful in filming, due to the fact i would be able to get arial shots in 4K quality. 

Lighting

We learnt about four different lights and how to use them. these lights are; Ari 300, Ari three point, Ari redhead and Dedo. with some of the lights, you could clamp colour gels around the shell of the light. these were useful in creating an atmosphere. in three-point lighting the, the key light is the front light, the fill light is the side light and the rear light is the backlight. The Ari 300, was the horror light. This light has a wastage of 900 and was fairly bright. This light is very easy to use. the half and safety are to wear gloves when handling and move lose wires out of the way. The Ari three point has a wastage of 900 and was quite bright. This light is very easy to use. The health and safety are to wear gloves when handling and move lose wires out of the way. The Ari redhead has a wastage of 2400 and was very bright. This light is very easy to use. The health and safety are to wear gloves when handling and move lose wires out of the way. ...

Psycho Shower Scene Analysis

In class, I watched the iconic 'shower scene' from the movie 'Psycho'. I was then put into a group and our time was to recreate the sound in the video, we done this by being given a voice recorder and objects. These objects consist of; A Curtain, Tap, Bubble Wrap, Rice and A Ballon. We also recorded someone screaming and someone walking to recreate the natural sounds.  After getting the sounds we used 'Adobe Premiere Pro' to edit in the sounds effect. firstly we downloaded the video and had to mute the audio. after this we imported the sounds and sound effect we recorded and imported them into the video, this was the hardest part, trying to perfectly align the audio and video. After a couple of attempts, we managed to align it up perfectly.  What went well was gathering the sounds and the video. we used the curtain for the shower curtain sound, pushing down the tap for turning on the shower, washing hands for the washing sound, twisting bubbl...

Photography

Image
In photography, the ' shutter speed'  is the length of time when the 'digital sensor' inside the camera is exposed to light. In addition, when a camera's ' shutter'  is open this is when a photograph is being taken. The amount of light that reaches the 'image sensor' is equal to the exposure time.  The ' aperture'  stop of a  lens can be changed to control the amount of light reaching the image sensor. In combination with diffrent types of shutter speed, the ' aperture'  size will control the image sensor's degree of exposure to light. How a camera works My Process I used a 'DSLR' camera and  experimented  with different 'shutter speed' and 'aperture' to see the  different effect this would create in the  images. The camera i used was a 'Nikon DSLR' with a '15mm-55mm' lens. I tried a verity of photos, such as someone or something moving at a fast moti...

Week 3 Evaluation

Critically Comparing my Skills, Processes and Methods How well have you done in the sessions? Ask yourself: Which skills, Processes and Methods or tools you enjoyed the most? Answer: I enjoyed making the 'CREW' logo, in fashion. This is because i had the freedom to use the colours in anyway i wanted to. I firstly made a colours pallet to see what the colours would look like after they come out of the heater. i saw that the initial dull colours became vibrant wand worm. I then sketched out how i wanted the 'CREW' to look like then i proceeded to infill the letters with the paint. after i had finished filling in the word i used my paint brush and paint to flick over the canvas this added a secondary layer. Which of the things you have been shown could you demonstrate to another person? Answer: I could demonstrate how to create a matt finished mono print to someone. Firstly i would need to get the correct equipment ready this being: glass table ...
