Week 3 In Studio Practice (Media 2)
Week 3 Studio classes focused upon the underappreciated artist as well as contemporary forms of art including street art.
It can be note
d that many pieces of work we value now have only become noteworthy once the artist has passed away.
A famous painter mentioned was Van Gough, an example of why is because his work was not valued during his lifetime.
This was partly due to the fact his style was not recognised or appreciated, only once his demise did his pieces became renowned for their contemporary art form and later iconic. Our second class as a demonstration on the usage of camera and audio.
Cinematography was a key factor mentioned as well as lighting, mise-en-scene and shot sizes. We have been told by our tutor Louise Turley that we should be thinking ‘outside the box and our comfort zones’ when it comes to using new equipment. After all we are undertaking a Media course in order to learn new information as well as complete different types of challenges.
It was nice to have a refreshment on audio, most of what I had learnt from my Diploma came into play using RMIT’s cameras.
Notes would be to check the camera is on mic not line, also levels and finally playback audio before actually filming to make sure everything is working accordingly.
