Connotation Photoshoot (Emotions)

 

For this shoot, I had to take images that matched a certain emotion. For our first image theme, I shot loneliness. To achieve this theme, we changed the shutter speed to be slower, so the people walking in the background would seem blurred, while the main vocal point in the foreground of the image remains still. Some of the images had to high an exposure, meaning that too much light was let in and it made everything look pale. Our next theme was fear, we achieved this through creating a background using a tapestry sheet and putting a light stand behind the background sheet to create shadows, we then got someone to put their hand over the light but under the background sheet to create a spooky shadow. We also responded to the theme of fear by using a high angle image and looking down at the subject of the image - we then using a light stand at a high angle to help create fear through the use of shadows and contrast. To show the theme of danger, we set the camera at a low angle and directed up towards the hand holding the hand to give a feeling that the subject of the image had power and was dangerous. We also set the light stand up next to the camera at a low angle looking up so that it created shadows on the gun which contrast to the brightness of the hand. I enjoyed doing this shoot as I did photography for GCSE's and it was fun to do it again, I also really like the way the photos turned out because I think they show the emotion we picked very well.

Package Filming

LINK  For this task, we where given a brief of "Handing over a package", when filming this we needed: 5 close ups, One POV shot, One extreme close up, One camera movement, An establishing shot, A non-cut transition, An eyeline match, and a shot reverse shot. We managed to use all these different types of shot in our filming and we used them to help create certain themes. For example we used an extreme close up on shaking hands to help show the focus and anxiety the character was feeling, another example of using a close-up is when Gemma stepped through the door, however as the viewer does not know whose shoes they are, it creates mystery and suspense. We tried to create a suspenseful film, where an unknown character is holding a package with unknown contents - as the camera comes into focus the character is seen smiling which helps relax the suspense, open the package being opened, it is revealed there is a ring inside, this is successfully achieved th...
