Week 5: Lighting

 Some more info about lighting today...

 There are 3-Point Lighting:
Key Light - Fill Light - Back Light

 The best lighting technique is 3-point lighting. In 3-point lighting 3 lights are used. A key light, a fill light, and a back light.

 Key light
  • the main light that is placed at a thirty to forty-five degree angle in front of the subject and to the side of the camera.
Fill light
  • is placed on the side of the camera just opposite of the key light.
  • is used to soften shadows created by the key light. 
  • is set to about half the intensity of the key light, and often a broad, scoop, or soft light is used instead of a spotlight to provide a softer fill with no harsh shadows. If using only a 2-light system, a reflector can be used to bounce light back onto the subject. Reflectors are sometimes used with a fill light to ensure that no hard shadows are cast on the subject
Backlight
  • usually placed directly behind the subject, in line with the camera. 
  • is sometimes placed above the subject pointing down onto the head and neck of the subject.
  • creates a "defining edge" to help visually separate the subject from the background, and should be adjusted so it creates a highlight around the top or side of the subject.
  • is not a background light. It should not be used to light the back drop, it is only used to create a rim of light around the subject and is used to separate the subject from the background by giving it a 3-dimensional look.
Accent 
  • is optional
  • to make the subject to come out/get away from the background/back
  • the subject become 3D effect




CUT AWAY SHOT
2:44 AM - Posted by Diyana Aziz - 0 comments
A cutaway is a shot that's usually of something other than the current action. It could be a different subject (eg. this cat when the main subject is its owner), a close up of a different part of the subject (eg. the subject's hands), or just about anything else.


 The cutaway is used as a "buffer" between shots (to help the editing process), or to add interest/information.




Week 4: White Balance
2:32 AM - Posted by Diyana Aziz - 0 comments
::1 October 2012::

 White balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic color casts, so that objects which appear white in person are rendered white in your photo. Proper camera white balance has to take into account the "color temperature" of a light source, which refers to the relative warmth or coolness of white light. 

 Our eyes are very good at judging what is white under different light sources, but digital cameras often have great difficulty with auto white balance (AWB) — and can create unsightly blue, orange, or even green color casts. Understanding digital white balance can help you avoid these color casts, thereby improving your photos under a wider range of lighting conditions.
