Second Post Continued

Kelsey here, class has been going great! My group and I are proving to be a very successful match. We discussed our future plans for our final commercial project. We are considering doing a commercial on the women's lacrosse team. We are also considering filming some segments of our spring break because  we are all going somewhere in Florida over break. I am really looking forward to working with my group.


I took a photography class last semester and learned a lot about aperture and shutter speed, as well as lighting, so I have found that many of these things are the same when using video. Although there are a few differences.

Doc Chris was his usual energetic self this past class which makes it very exciting to learn about what he has to say. In my previous post I posted the video of his descriptions of various types of lighting. 

Here is an example of an extreme wide-angle shot:

The following is a re-post of the video of Doc Chris breaking down the three-point lighting lesson: 

HD tv: high definition tv. 720 p and 1080 I (differences in pixels); 1080 I isn’t necessarily better

Better for visual quality:  1080 I is good for not a lot of fast motion; 720 is good for fast paced

720: progressive

1080: interlaced

(technically 540 –odd)

(technically 540-even)

2k and 4k

brightness (iluminance)

Color (chroma) : ex. Traffic cone

Color is broken into three parts: red, green, blue (R,G,B) 

Rods regulate the brightness portion in your eyes and represent how your eyes process this

There are certain colors that will grab your attention: cones in your eye regulate color; you have Red cones, Green cones, and Blue cones

CCD

Iris rep. light

Shutter speed

ND (neutral density) filter

Pan: left to right

Tilit: up and down

Canting: tilting sideways (dutch angle) 

Here is my video on three point lighting:

Key light functions as the main source of illumination in a scene , the best spot to place it is at a 45 degree angel from your camera in order to add definition to face and shoulders: or main light; illuminates scene

The fill light is 45 degree from the camera but opposite from the key light and less intense so it doesn’t compete, example use a lamp or use the light further away: fills in shadows

The backlit shines down on the subject and creates a rim around the shoulders and head and focuses your attention on the subject: makes subject stand out from background

Here is my video on tilting, canting, and panning (sorry for the mess): 

Lastly, here is another informational video I found on three-point and key lighting:

Today's class was very informative. We learned a lot about the uses of cameras and what makes up a camera lens.

My name is Kelsey McGlynn and I am apart of the Sisterhood group which consists of four other members: Vivian Perry, Kate Downey, Ashley Moulton, and Marielle Decolator. We are called the sisterhood because although we are a bunch of ballaz, we mean business and we stick together to create great, creative videos.

I am personally from Philadelphia, and in high school I worked with a group of students and professionals to create a historical documentary that was published and sold in Barnes and Nobles. I am an English and Writing major and I hope to channel my creative, journalistic skills into my work with video.

Dr. Chris's class is officially my favorite class at Loyola. Along with having an absolutely engaging class, I learned a lot about various shooting techniques. For example, we talked about the advantages and disadvantages of long shots. I look forward to continuing to learn about different video methods and working with Dr. Chris
