Photography Proposal



http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/cameras-photography/tips/5-film-noir-photography-tips2.htm

Shoot 1: This image will be recreated at college and seems quite simple to recreate, just because its just shadows. But it might be quite hard because I might not get the weather I want, and I will need it to be sunny because I would like to do this just outside of college, where there is cobbles to give it the noir look. I will need props for this which will just be a hat which I have at home so that's easy enough. My friend Victoria will help me and be the person to create the shadow. After I have took the image I will change the filter to black and white in Photoshop.

Shoot 2: This image will also be recreated at college and is going to be recreated the same way as my first image. I will create a shadow with one person, but my friend Victoria will be the woman in the image while I take the shot of the image. Just like the first image I will need it to be sunny so I can create the shadow. Then I will change the filter to black and white in Photoshop to give it the noir look again.

Shoot 3: This will be taken at home due to the cigarette and the gun in the image, which I would not be allowed to take at college. It would also be easier to take it at home because I have all the props at home so I don't have to bring them in to college. This Image will be quite simple to recreate because I have all the props in the image which are similar, and the lighting wont be hard to get right either. Just like all the other images I will change the filter to black and white to give it the noir look again.

Shoot 4: This image will recreated at home due to the gun in the image and because I have a blind like that at home. I have all the props at home and my friend Douglas will be the person in the image, and will be holding the fake gun and will where the hat that I have. I will take the shot then change the filter in Photoshop to black and white so it gives it the noir look again.

week 3 memory check

Memory check (based upon your research and homework)

1. Film Noir can be a difficult/technical subject to photograph.

Explain THREE considerations you must make when deciding on the camera settings

-Lighting 

- ISO higher ISO the more grain you have. (noise) 

-Aperture- If the camera auto-adjusts the aperture, it will use a wide aperture in order to get more light in.

- Shutter Speed- When there isn't much light the shutter speed will be slow in order to allow more light to get in, this will cause the picture to become blurry.

2. Name the three main light sources used in Film Noir (think back to the video we watched)

-Key light

-Hair/back light

-Fill light 

3. What is the photographic term given to the low-light style of Film Noir lighting?

-low-key lighting 

4. Detail FOUR considerations you must take into account when shooting on location.

-Staff/students

-Weather

- Not to trespass

 -Accidents (placement of equipment)

5. List FOUR health and safety considerations when using equipment to produce your photography.

-heat of the lights (redhead)

-Wires 

-Taking the equipment (careful of being robbed)

-Be polite when talking to others (in-case if you need someone to move so you can take your shot)

1. What time period do you think the photograph was taken? Give reasons for your answer. I think the photograph was taken in 1970s because of the colors and the people have different style to our days.
2. What do you think was the genre/subject? I think it was used to be on postcards to advertise holidays just like Butlins.
3. Are the elements in the shot balanced? I think yeah they are balanced. Its focus is the people in the pool.
4. What message could the photograph be trying to convey? Well if it’s advertising Butlins it’s showing off the fun and happiness to make people to come Butlins.
5. Do you notice anything striking about the shot? The colors.
6. Do you think consent was needed from the subjects? Probably not.
7. What is the viewpoint? Wide-shot.
8. If you were to produce this shot what would you do differently? Maybe I would shift the camera slightly to the left to make less dead air.
