I have taken 2 photographs from my previous work that has a significant use of colour for my project




Please note: before you ask,yes these are taken by myself, as a freelance photographer so they are copyrighted by me, see the watermark





also, both pictures below have not been edited with any software

Gloomy Day B&W

This picture was taken on avery dull day, black and white fully brings out the beauty of it on picture

Tibshelf Night Trails

Taken at night with a low shutter speed, capturng the movement of vehicles on the motorway, the contrast between the black night sky and the red and white lights of cars is wonderful

One Shot Short Film

I'm not even sure if we've done ours to the matching criterias, but sod it, heres the film



it is about a undercover police officer meeting a drug dealer for a pick-up to catch the drug dealer, obviously you don't know that there is 2 cops until the end when the other one pops out to arrest the dealer.

Colour and Light

Colour and Light

The piece of art work I chose to discuss is by Rebecca Partridge - The Dreaming

The Dreaming
oil on canvas, 155×185cm, 2008

The artists main colour is black in this painting, the other bright colours used is befitting for the title. Dreaming is a night activity therefore associated with the colour black, or dark colours, but as you dream deeper, the night fades away and you get less and less wary of the night and fall deeper into sleep. That is why the colour gets more and more vivid towards the center of the painting signifying what I explained earlier. The many different colour overlapping each other on most of the painting is to visually demonstrate the idea of dreams having many different things going on and connecting with one another. That is also why the colours blend in rather than overlap. Although I'm not sure on this, I think the colours that are put together are the ones that compromise each other, in some cases they are not but again it fits the title. another thing that fits the title is the randomness of the layout of the painting.
the painting is once again fully black at the center, just right after the colour being the brightest, this could mean the end of a dream when your just about to wake up or just fallen out of one dream and about to go back into a different one.
The artist also has a high usage of tints/shades her paintings which is interestingly displayed via the overlapping of different colours.

Adobe premiere editing

well last time we was in, we sat down and had a go at editing some footage from some film, on Adobe Premiere, wasnt very interesting and a lot harder to use than final cut, still feel that final cut pro is a lot better but I'll just haver to deal with this.

Filming Today

Went out to film today in a dodgey back alley in town, well funny.

productive day, got the short film nailed, in 3 takes, everything went to plan, all went well, good day in general :D

p.s also went to that gallery thing.....it was crap lol

3 point lighting and one shot short

Last lecture we did about 3 point lighting which was very boring tbh, ive done it all before so I guess thats the reason, not sure about everyone else though, they might have found it interesting :)

On top of that, we managed to come up with an idea for the one shot short and I advised a location to film it :)

Rule of thirds

The rule of thirds, simply put, a guideline for the composition within photography and film.

By splitting the layout of the screen into thirds vertically and horizontally, you'll get 4 line, by placing the subject on the intersection on 2 lines will mean that you have placed the subject in 1 of the thirds.

The rule can also be applied to architecture and other forms of art, by all means it is a way to arrange objects o its more pleasing for the eyes.

This rule also allows the subject to have less empty space surrounding it.

Clip to show the rule of thirds

We were set the task to write about the meaning of "rule of thirds" and to make a short clip to demonstrate it, here is my short clip -



here we have my alarm clock placed in the bottom third at the start, as it moves around, it lands on all the other thirds.

simple stuff (y)

One Shot FIlm

Today we was introduced to the one shot film, we were split into groups to make a short film with one limited amount of movements to the on tripod camera, we was allowed to use pans, tilts and zooms whilst not moving the camera.

This means that the focus of the piece will rely alot more on the actors or whats going in shot to make it interesting.

we made 2 shorts which im pretty happy about, quite excited about the the full production, I think it will be fun to do (y)
