 Process

 The aim of the lesson was to create an advert for a pen company called Bic. We then got split up into groups to brainstorm ideas for the advert. After all four groups came up with their plan we pitched it to the teacher who then decided who's idea was best. Then the teacher picked the best one and we started to develop the idea and start to produce the advert.
We were all given different jobs so that we could successfully make the advert. The rolls were the actors, director, floor manager, camera, lighting, camera change and auto cue.
My job was to operate one of the 4 cameras.I was positioned diagonally so that I could get side views of the actors. The whole advert lasted 30 seconds. And it took 5-6 times to complete it as it was a live recording so their was no room for mistakes.

Technical Skills

 The technical skills we learnt from media is how to use the cameras properly as it was difficult to manoeuvre around the studio. Another skill was changing the gels on the lights so that the light projected a green colour or a red colour.

Creating a Hyper lapse

Hyper Lapses What is a hyperlapse? A hyper lapse is when you manually move the camera a short distance between each shot until you have enough images to create a short video. After you have taken your photos you can go onto a gif creator which you can find on the internet and sync your photos together. My first attempt at creating a hyperlapse was at college. We took a series of photos of myself and Heather, every time a photo was taken we moved to a different step.  We took around 35 photos and this was the result. However, I wanted to take this further and I decided to shoot a second hyperlapse, but this time I was going to photograph a house with it's Christmas lights. I thought the subject would make interesting and striking photographs, as the glare of the lights would change as I move parallel to the house on the other side of the road.  One thing that I had to bare in mind was that I needed a point of focus so that when I move to take the next shot I would kno

Erhan Asik

Erhan Asik is a Turkish photographer who I came across whilst looking for ideas to do with water based long exposures. After looking through his work i figured that some of his photographs could be recreated. not by taking the photo in the exact same place. but by using the same concept of filters and the use of a tripod. this is the photo that inspired me to go out and capture my own long exposures. I like the way that the water looks in this photo. It can come across as looking like clouds or mist. the way Asik has created this is by using something called an neutral density filter which allows the cameras shutter to be open for longer without the photo becoming over exposed. Here is my recreation. the shutter speed for this particular photo was set to 10 seconds which allowed the water to blur and create the misty effect that i wanted to achieve. I  made sure that the orientation of the camera was set to portrait so that i could include the full length of the water as i

Narrative Sequence

This is my attempt at a narrative sequence. To create this sequence I used a scrabble board that showed my name as it moved around the board.  I did this as it resembles different situations throughout your life and any problems that you may face. This can be shown by having the letters move upwards and downwards and flip back to front.  This represents the highs and lows you may experience. To create this sequence I used a tripod as this ensured that the camera remained still. I also chose to tilt the camera downwards as this created a birds eye view, And due to this choice of composition. I had to use a wide focal length of 10mm in order to obtain the whole of the board. The frame speed for the narrative sequence is set to 0.1 so that there was a smooth transition between the frames. If the speed was set at the standard rate of 0.05 the sequence would become too fast and the viewer would be unable to read the words spelt. However, if the frame speed was any slower than 0.1, the
