Reverse Shot
That was a sequence of shot – reverse shots, it helps show dialogue between multiple – in this case two – people.
Firstly an establishing shot was used to show the scene and introduce the characters, then i went straight onto the dialogue shots.
Additionally i could have used a master shot which is a a film recording of a entire scene – usually a long take – which can also double as an establishing shot.
In these photos, I set my camera to manual focus and adjusted this to create a shallow focus. As a result, the foreground is in clear focus on the first image: blurring the background which keeps our attention grounded to the foreground. This concept is reversed for the second photo, where the background is in clear focus compared with the blurry foreground
Next, I experimented with the white balance to create several different hues and colouring of the same image. This led to the reproduction of the image, but with a slightly altered hue such as yellow or blue. This can be useful to create a mood or atmosphere, but also to signify indoors or outdoors
I lowered the ISO, which creates low-key lighting and generally darkened the photo
I used the manual focus to create the following photos. With the first image, I adjusted the focus so that the image was blurry and the letters were illegible. Next, I ensured that there was a clear enough focus to easily read the letters
This Images is me testing out my deep focus skills and my understanding of the technique. I set the focus to different levels for different images.
This picture shows my ability to understand the shutter speed of a camera and overexposure.
Here i have an example of the different stages of “3 stage lighting”
First, before we have any specific points of light added, we have a very flat and uninteresting picture. This is because there are very few shadows being cast that make it interesting.
The next stage is to add a Key Light. A key light comes from the front on on side and is the brightest light, that makes it the key light.
After the Key light we need to add what is known as a fill light to soften the image and balance the contrast between light and dark, since the key light is coming from a specific side, it is casting strong shadows over the face and so the fill light counters this by coming from the other side.
Finally the last Point of lighting is called the back light,it is put behind the subject and it is used to provide a sense of depth and helps separate the subject from the background.
