How and Why Light Affects Camera Techniques For Moving Image

within film, lightning is a very key aspect, a poor understanding of lightning may be detrimental to your film as some shots will look under or overexposed. there is a variety of different techniques that all have different effects on your film result with some having different connotations to different emotions.

lowkey lighting is achieved by using a singular source of light instead of a traditional 3 point setup. this will produce high contrast shots. a very similar technique is hardlight; hard light is achieved when the light source is substantially smaller than the subject. hard light casts shadows alongside producing high contrast and areas of darkness. hard light is used a lot within noir films as it creates a hard edge on the shadow to give it a clear shape which is good when making silhouettes. these types of lightings give connotations of fear and suspense in contrary to soft lighting which connotates happiness or being in a state of sobriety and equilibrium. soft light is produced when the light source is much bigger than the subject which results in low contrasts and shadows. the most basic soft light that can be used is the sun.

Music Video Analysis - A$AP ROCKY - L$D

Analysis Of song Meaning Rakim Athelaston Mayers better known as his stage name A$AP Rocky presents a drug fuelled psychedelic ballad which portrays his many experiences with the class A drug Lysergic acid diethyl amide or LSD For short. Throughout the song Rocky alludes as a girl to LSD throughout the song which can be seen with the opening verse of the song. One of the many effects of LSD as a psychedelic is dynamic, coloured hallucinations and the induction of a strong euphoria, which can last for over four hours. LSD is often portrayed as a girl named Lucy – mainly because of the assertions not received that LSD inspired the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."

Focus Groups

Each participant is chosen after completing a screener questionnaire, which allows the researcher to ensure that a good mix of people represent the project's target audience. Before conducting a focus group, the facilitator will create a discussion guide to ensure that participants cover topics of interest to the researchers. A focus group typically lasts about an hour and a half and is occasionally observed by researchers and members of a larger project team using a one-way mirror.

A company may use a focus group to gather customer feedback on a new product or service before moving forward with development. A focus group can be used in this context to test ideas and gather feedback on whether the idea will be liked or needed by the target a...

Evaluation

Planning the planning stage of my work I believe happened to go very well. I started off by analysing music videos that I felt inspired by whilst simultaneously reading upon the theories of Andrew Goodwin and carol Vernalis to then link them to said videos. The things I analyse were the codes and conventions of these genres and the reasons why things were done in the video. For example, I explained why asap rocky used certain editing techniques to represents his experience with drugs and so forth. Moving forth from this point I created a questionnaire to help influence the video I wanted to make. This questionnaire helped the video to some degree. Admittedly I believe I could have asked better questions but the questions I asked still helped the video. An example of a question helping was the question of where I asked people what they enjoyed about music videos and what they enjoyed about the last music video that they watched. This me streamline the shots that I wanted with my client ...
