Take-Home Question: Chapter 3: Lighting Director (Attempt 1 )

You are to supervise the lighting of a face cream commercial. The script calls for an ECU of the model’s face. The novice LD (Lighting Director) suggests using a fast falloff “to accentuate the nice bone structure of the model’s face.” Do you agree with the LD? If so, why? If not, why?

If I were the supervisor of the lighting of facial cream I would not agree with the novice lighting director. I believe that an extreme close up would be a lot better for this type of picture  because if you want to do a picture for your face you want the best possible shot to exploit the face of the person. I also would like to have a tight shot of the models face. Although the models face is not selling extreme close up will help bring out the facial structure and the cream.

Reaction to The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

The film The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is a very interesting movie when it comes to lighting and camera angles. The small clip that we saw in class was very cool because you got to view everything from the characters point of view. I was also interested in how the camera viewed the other people and things that were in this film. What else caught my attention was when the man first woke up from his coma and how they kept flicking off the screen to show that the man was blinking in the hospital.

Image Bank Assignment 2

The photographer that I chose to use for my image bank was Ansel Adams. What I admire about Ansel Adams work is that he takes great pictures in different environments such as the desserts, mountains, and open fields. These images stuck out to me because they show many examples of what I learned in class. Ansel Adams work is best known in Yosemite National Park.
