evaluation
In this project i have produced a series of pictures based on the movie burlesque. I have produced a series of location photography and a series of studio photographs. I have also produced an editors page telling about my burlesque scenes and clothes and style.
I enjoyed this project very much. it was based of studio photography and thats the thing that I'm aiming for. i have seen how the studio works and how to become a studio photographer. I enjoyed my photoshoot in the studio. and in location and experimentation with different lights and the different effects that i got.
in this project i have learned different types of lights. I have also learned how they work and which lamp is best for what effect I'm trying g to create. In my photoshoot that i did I mostly used the soft box and the snoot. We have learned different names of different llights and how the health and safety works in the studio and what we should and should not do.
in my project i could have worked better with my time management.
task 3 b lights
Different
types of lights in the studio
The most common lights in a studio are umbrellas and softbox.
There are three times of tinted umbrellas , silver-lined, white and gold. reflecting umbrellas produce a soft light due to the large size the reflecting surface. they are made in this way that the storbe light is actually facing away from the subject or model. The light travells from the storbe head hitting the inside of the umbrella and then again bouncing to the subject.
Softboxes on the other hand are usually square or rectangular. They are lightweight boxes that come with a reflective inside and a translucent front. Softboxes come in different shapes and sizes and are attached to the front the strobe over the light source. Light emitted from the strobe head gets reflected inside the walls of the softbox and diffused through the box's translucent front creating a soft, but more focused light source illuminating the model or scene
In this project i have used these two lamps to shoot my final pictures and my my practise. my favourite lamp is the softbox because it gives a beautiful light to the skin and a beutiful soft looking skin on pictures. I havent tried any pictures yet using an umbrella. but i would like to try and see the different effects that it gives.
In photography reflector is an improvised or specialised surface to reflect light from it to the subject that we want to direct the light to.
snoot is a tube that is fitted over a studio light. it is used by photographers to control the direction of the light and the radius of the light beam these shoots may be in different shapes, it can be conical, cylindrical or rectangular. in my project for my studio shoot i have used a snoot. i used it for to create a spot light coming from the tom , shining down on my model. the effect given by snoot is very shark and light, shoots are used for more dramatic effect of the pictures, to give a strong light to the picture.
barn doors tend to be used to shape the light. they don't really effect the hardness or softness of the light given. the hardness or softness of the light is created by the type of light source. two side of flaps close together might produce a slim light shape like light passing through a partially open door.
Next we have an Elinchrom head in a standard reflector, this produces directional but useful light of good quality.

task 3 a low and high key
task 3 high and low key
High key lightening is a style of lightening used not only in photography but also in films and television. high key lightening aims to reduce the lightening ration in the scene. this was done originally for technological reasons because early films did deal well with high contrast ratio. now a days it is used on using mid-tone grey's to bright whites. the use of bright lights eliminate shadow reduced the contrast in the picture.
Low-key lighting is a style of lighting for photography, film or television. It is a necessary element in creating a chiaroscuro effect. Traditional photographic lighting, three-point lighting uses akey light, a fill light, and a back light for illumination. This effect created a great mood or sets the tone of the scene. this is usually used to get a great effect with the darks. this kind of photography is used in horrors movies or in horror photography.Low-key lighting is also used in photography to create the same types of effects.

task 2 b light meter
light meter
A light meter is used to measure the amount of light. It is
used in photography to see the right exposure for the photograph. the light
measure the light hitting the spot it has a computer inside which is ever analogue or digital, this will show the
photographer and help to determine which f-number and shutter speed should be
used. This is very important when working with modes and with people. to determine
which light will give the best exposure to the picture. It is also used in
cinematic stages to set up the right light.
I have used light meter in this project when we was shooting pictures in the studio. A Photographer normally when shooting in a studio will use an assistant to do light metering for him/her.

also never touch the laps and the equipment with wet hands, this may cause an electric shock
-Darkness: The low light in the studio presents a hazard in itself. Various props, wires, camera stands are less evident in the dark. When using the studio users should not rely on their usual senses. Extra attention needs to be paid, taking an extra look around before making movements, taking notice of where things are.
-the lights get very hot. do not touch the bulbs.
-Covers need to be removed before switching on the flash lamps and fittings should be attached prior to the lamps heating up.
-When closing down never lay cables or anything else over hot lamps (allow them to cool first).
-Turn the lights down to there lowest setting and then discharge the power before switching off.
-a ladder used everytime somebody needs to do something above the head
-make sure that the right ventilation is used (cool or heat)

Task 1
Contemporary Photographers
I have researched some contemporary photographers for my research task. Most of these photographers that I have researched are the photographers that have worked behind the scenes in different films doing still photography. These photographers have worked in many more than just one or two films, and are very well known photographers. For this task I researched a lot of different movies that I thought about using for my final project and from these films I have researched the still photographers that have photographed in these films. This kind of research will help me to choose the final movie that I want to base all my work on. Looking at the different photographs and different styles will help me to get an inspiration and help me to choose my final film to base my project on. here are some photographers that I have chosen.
STEVEN VAUGHAN
Steven Vaughan is a very well know still photographer. He is a founding member of the society Motion Picture Still Photographers. He has been a motion pictures still photographer since 1978. He is a still photographer that works within the film industry. He takes pictures behind the scenes in the films and between when the film is being shot. Steven inspires me with his career and with his achievements. He inspires me because his career started the first time an image came up in a developer for him this was magical and very inspirational. He worked for his career very hard. At the beginning of his career he was taught to print prints as his job requirement and after a year or such he traded his print and processing to a client for a used camera and 50mm lens. He was inspired with the darkroom and he entered the world of photography through it. In one of his work he shot Marcel Marceu for theatre magazine. And from then he started to take many job offers. He borrowed books and equipment to get his job done. He became addicted to the world off photography. He was the kind of person that always carried camera around him. He worked for his part of the photography world and he was a still photographer in a lot of very well-known movies like : Burlesque, Inception, pirates of the Caribbean 3, mission Impossible, Mr and Mrs smith, The hallow man and many more.

David James
received the Still Photographer Award. James joined the Stills Department at MGM Studios-UK at the age of 16, and began shooting his own stills at the age of 19. His first film was a British comedy directed by Ken Anakin and soon James was covering such movies as Women in Love, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Fiddler on the Roof, Jesus Christ Superstar and Barbra Streisand’s Yentl. He moved to the US in the late 1980’s. “I got a call a few days later to say that he (Steven Spielberg) wanted me to do the movie and that I could pick up my portfolio book,” recalls David. He went on to cover many more of Spielberg’s movies afterSchindler’s List. “Every movie I cover and have covered has its own story to tell,” says James. “My favorite subjects are musicals and war, though just having shot Water For Elephants, I have to add circuses in the Depression. In reality, I have to say that I have been extremely lucky in landing movies that have been a visual treat.” Currently David was hired to shootMission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. “Tom Cruise and I have shot some pictures that will be historical.” David James’ photography was used brilliantly in the program booklet for the event.

Oujia still photographer : Matt Kennedy
Matt Kennedy was born as Matt F. Kennedy. He is known for his work on Star Trek, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and The Italian Job.
mr and mrs smith and Burlesque still photographer :
Stephen Vaughan :The first time Stephen saw an image come up in the developer tray it was magical - alchemical - turning silver into images. Taught to print as a job requirement, a year later he traded prints and processing to a client for a used camera and a 50mm lens.
Stephen Vaughan entered the world of photography through the darkroom. He shot Marcel Marceau for a theater magazine, and started taking any job offered with the belief that he’d figure it out or fix it in the darkroom. Stephen would make calls, borrow equipment and read books. He had become passionate about photography and always had a camera with him. Addicted to the heightened visual awareness that always looking for a picture brings.
