Key Lighting/Fill Lighting/Backlight

Key Light

Key light is one of the most important things that a Cameraman/Photographer could use in a lighting setup. The purpose of 'Key Light' is to directly aim at the person or at the object, to highlight certain parts of the face, or components of the object.

Key Light often only uses one light only that is directed diagonally in front of the person/subject, and the camera is placed in front of them. The position of the person/object can also effect the presentation of the photo/video.

Fill Light

In film or photographic lighting, a fill light may be used to reduce the contrast of a scene. It is usually used to fill in the darkness on one side of the person/object, They usually use this technique in things like films, staging and interviews. This photo is a great example of Fill light 

Backlight

Backlight is a form of illumination, where a light is placed behind the person/object. Any light can be used as a light, from natural to un-natural, the light is usually placed above the person/object, they can also be placed directly behind the subject so it gives it a bright glowing silhouette effect. They can also be referred to a hair lights.

  

Explosion GIF

In todays lecture we learned how to make a gif. i started by thinking of a design, i thought of a cartoon bomb, so i drew out three and one had a long thread and the other two had shorter threads, then i also drew 3 cartoon explosions 1 small one, medium one and a large one to fit the page. i started by taking the photos and gradually putting in the photos into it, after i taken 34 photos i put them all into photoshop and started by putting them out of layers and into frames and then spaced the time out between the frames out. after i was happy i exported it as a  animated GIF. 'save for web legacy and uploaded it onto my drive.

this is the timeline with all of the frames on it.

All postcard designs!

 This postcard was started by inserting a photo from the camera that i took the photo with, after i sized it i started putting a hazey and a vignette filter onto the postcard, afterwards i started playing with the brightness and contrast to get a colourful effect, lastly i finished by using a old fashioned/modern font and wrote text along the bottom of the postcard.

I started this postcard by selecting four photos from the photos we took around bath.i then inserted them into photoshop, then size them all so they could all fit equally onto the page, after i sized them all i inserted a royal blue box to show the royalty of bath, then lastly i inserted a thin text to show uniqueness of bath.

This postcard that i designed i started by selecting four photos from the photos we took around bath.i then inserted them into photoshop, then size them all so they could all fit equally onto the page, after i sized them all i started by inserting a gold shield into the middle of the page. after that i put gold lines along lines where the photos collided, lastly i inserted Roman Bath in the middle of the shield but made the font old english to show the vintage theme.

This postcard that i designed i started by selecting a photo from google and put a blue filter on it so the snow was highlighted more, after that i put dark blue lines along the top and the bottom of the postcard. Lastly i finished by downloading a font from 'DaFont' and inserted that into photoshop, then wront Bath Spa in the middle of the postcard. i think this font gave it a retro feel so that is why i chose it.

Task 3

photography results!

Rule Of Thirds

My Photo - we went into bath and took our own photos of many things to fit into certain types. I took this photo then photoshopped the grid onto the the photo. As you can see the circle map in the middle in the centre of attention and the rest o the grid is background.







Photo from- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rule_of_Thirds-Grand_Canyon_Horse_Shoe_Bend_MC.jpg -  This photo is an example of the Rule of Thirds, i found this photo on google images, which i searched specific photos which can be used by other people. As you can see by this photo this is the Grand Canyon Horse Shoe, this photo is split into thirds to emphasise the middle island the the river going around it. (In the middle third) and the rest of the thirds are background/foreground.                        

Creating Balance

When we went into bath and took this photo to create balance. the main object in this photo is stick on the floor, also with the the bike in the top left corner creates balance but the stick is still the main object as it is in the picture completely unlike the bike.

I got this photo from wikipedia. This photo is a good example of Creating Balance. The main object in the picture is the beetle, but there are other things in the photo like sticks and moss which creates balance because there is still a lot going even though the photograph has the focus on the beetle. 

Depth of Field

This photo we took when went into bath i thought it would be good if i focused of the background and blurred out the bike so it shows that the bike is closer to the camera
