Lighting Post

We went over the key features of four different lighting types. These included the Horror lighting, the RedHead lighting, the Arri 3-point lighting and the Dedo lighting.

 The Horror lighting had a power usage of 900 watts. It is used to create an eerie effect, which is done by shining the light below the person so that his/her face will be lit up with some distinct shadows. The colour of the lighting can also be changed with the coloured gells. In this scenario, we had the option of red and blue, and I can be seen here using the red one.


The lighting comes with very good focus making it more effective on the object it is facing.

The RedHead lighting was the brightest lighting type out of all four of them, and emitted the most heat as well. It had a power usage of 2400 watts. The brighness could be reduced by using the barn doors that are equipped.





The Ari 3 point lighting had a power usage of 900 watts, making it similar to the Horror lighting as mentioned above. One of the main differences is that it is brighter than the horror lighting and has better adjustments to it.




The Dedo lighting had a power usage of 450 watts and overall very dim lighting and poor focus, making it the least effective out of all of the lighting types. On the positive side, it was possibly the easiest to use.

The Filming Process

Week 1 We finalised our pre-production paperwork before we got started on our filming. For those who had already completed their assigned paperwork, it was a case of sorting out the production's props. On the Wednesday and Thursday of that week, we managed to film most of, if not pretty much all of the footage for my segment and some of Kian's as well. Week 2 During this week, the filming experienced some heavy setbacks due to the extreme weather, which consisted of freezing temperatures and extensive snowfall. We were only able to come in on Monday and run through the first few lines of the first scene. On Tuesday, not everyone managed to come in, and on Wednesday and Thursday, the college was closed full stop, so that got rid of any chances of filming. Week 3 This week consisted mostly of filming Cameron's scenes and the scenes using the mini-figures. Most of the live action was filmed on Monday, with the scenes using the mini-figures being filmed from Tues

1. Document what you did in the session on Tuesday and Wednesday (Pictures, Diary entries, Printouts ETC) 2. List under the following   Processes carried out in the sessions: Processes a) To begin the sessions, We were assigned in to four different groups so that we could come up with a 1 minute advert for the BIC four colour pen. b) My groups idea was very different to that of the other groups. This was because our had a 'hippies on the moon' theme to it which I thought was a bit silly at first, but was suprised at how it worked later on. c) All four groups had to listen to the ideas developed by others so that we could vote on which one the advert would be based on. d) To my surprise, my group's idea actually ended up winning the vote, and it took a lot of thought into how to make it into a production. e) A makeshift spacecraft was set up for the 'landing on the moon' scene. It was primarily made up of a few chairs and a table
