As yesterday’s shooting practice, we all tried our idea and it was very interesting.

Emma did lighting practice, we tried putting light everywhere, from left, from right, from the bottom, from the top, from the back, etc. and recorded the differences which showed on Jess’ face and also the background in the video camera. Each light environment will be suitable in different kind of situation. I really like the way which the light is in the back left, it made a little bit part of Jess’s hair is in the light and shine, but also got soft feeling on Jess’s face.

Jess did the walking idea, which she had shown her original idea in the class presentation. It is quite cool to make videos by using this idea, but it would take a long time to match the moving, we only had a little time to edit 4 videos. I think it would be better if we had more time.

Siobhan did the mirror reflection, which I had talked about some in the recent blog post about how to avoid the unwished reflection. We had a try and surprisingly, we got double reflection on the mirror, which is much more exciting to shoot. Another situation we did want to shoot is like: at first, a girl has not seen anyone in the glass door and suddenly, she closes the door and sees the reflection on the glass about somebody. We can see this kind of scene in thriller film, but I hate watching Thriller film very much.

What i wanted do is the full focus which is often used in the film or television but it is the skill i have not get. Of course, I know how to do it already, just need to mark the focal distance.
