Film Light Reflection 2

As we did in the last week, we’ve interviewed each other. However, this time we could use the white and black bounce board to reflecting the sunlight from the window. To begin this take, we’ve set up the camera position and make the subject sit in the right place so that the key light hit the interviewer’s face. I believe that the medium shot could be a better way in a frame when we do some interview work. First of all, we used the white bounce board on the left side of Aria so that the sunlight could reflecting her face to be a shadow area. Then, we put the black bounce board to her background to absorb some reflecting light from the back window. Then, we got the Aria facial features clearly. Then we try some different changes of the reflecting angles. However, the results are unsatisfied to me, there is only one angle of reflecting that looks excellent on the screen. I would like to shape more shadow areas between her nose and eyes but the environment light that I can not control.

In the tutorial, we learned some interesting knowledge of how to put the key light, fill light and back light. Even it involves some physics knowledge of the bulb power that I did not understand, but I finally knew how to put the white and black bounce board around the subject. I guess I need do more practical works to grasp this technique. For instance, if I do a interview work, I should know where the key light shot is, put the fill light and back light in a correct place, and properly use a different kind of light.

Upon reflection from this exercise, I believe that this practical exercise has great advantages. We have tried to shot subject without the luminous modelled and shot with luminous modelled, which two different shot environments contain the bounce board. I learned the using way of the board so I can shot everywhere even there is no artificial light.
