Experimentation


Camera Movement: Panning from left to right.

Evaluation: 

What do I see: Roses, thorns, window, curtains, leaves, plants, stone, colour, tree trunk.

What's working? Panning is right.

What's not working? The video is recorded by hand which makes it look rough. Camera isn't steady.

What would I do differently? I would use a tripod so that the recording is smooth.

What's next? Take more videos with different camera angles, movements and techniques.

High Key lighting is a type of lighting for film, television or photography that is put out to reduce the lighting ratio that is shown in the scene. High key lighting was done for technology reasons because television did not deal well with high contrast ratios. High Key Lighting is now used to make a more bright mood. It is usually used in sitcoms and comedies.

Low Key Lighting is a style of lighting for photography, film or television. Low Key Lighting is used to create the use of strong contrasts between light and dark. Low key lighting usually uses only one key light which is controlled with a fill light or a simple reflector.

Task 1 Evaluation on Roman Signer


What you see?
I see rope, briefcase, laptop, a man, trees, road, lines, hills, fog, bridge, brick, clothes, cars, and a river.

What is the idea that the artist is communicating? 
I'm not sure, but I think he is showing that something light as a laptop can make a big impact. A laptop tied to one end and a briefcase tied to the other end. The man throws down the laptop first and the briefcase went flying off. 

What is working?
Probably the sound and colour. It also shows us what he's going to do.

What is not working?
I think for me the reason doesn't show through. It doesn't show us what happened after, although there is nothing to know, as it just fell into the river. 

What would you do differently?
I'm not sure what I would do. I would probably record more into the video. Record if you're able to see it in the river. Explain in the beginning what I am going to do in the video. Have the sound in the background be of what I'm doing in that moment.
