Directions unit: Workshop notes

Steve Finn: directing Workshop


Try to avoid having character's backs to the camera as it encourages the need to add a cut during editing, always try to think is there a way the characters can face the same way?
Side views of characters ((two shots)) create distance, try to look for depth within the scene.

Tech workshop lighting

We played around and experimented with different lighting styles.

We used a three point lighting system consisting of;
Key light- the main light used on the subject
Fill light- to fill shadows created by key light
Back light- used to separate subject from the background

We also experimented with lighting gels, and tried out how various colours can change the feel of the film and the subject. For example red=danger, blue=calm and green=nature.
