Lighting Setup Week 5 Carousel

Lighting Setup Week 5 Carousel

In the first setup we used the 3 Arri 300W to combine a total output of 900W. The lights have a medium brightness with a very wide or narrow coverage and easy to use but need gloves and sandbags as they get warm.

For the second setup we used the Arri 300W lights again but setup them up differently with a rim light in the left corner, a fill light on the left and the key light which created a very flat 3d profile to the face and body and very minimal shadows. 

 In the 3rd setup we used 3 Redhead 800W to combine a total output of 2400W which are useful for big set productions. The lights are very bright and have a wide to medium coverage and I would say they are not the easiest to use with a difficulty of hard. The lights get incredibly hot, much hotter than the other lights so they need gloves and sandbags to prevent burn to the skin and falling over.



 For the 4th setup we used 3 Dedo 150W to combine a total output of 450W. The lights have a very low brightness which would be useful for a moody dark creepy hour scene with dark shadows and minimal highlights.


The lighting setup lesson taught me about how different angle and brightnesses of lighting can really affect the mood of the scene without you or the audience thinking about it and the colour and temperature can help to portray a certain emotion. Examples of this such as using a blue light gel to create a colder looking scene could show a character's sadness and a warmer red gel could portray a angry emotion in the character.

Making a Gif

Making a Gif in Photoshop To make a Gif in Photoshop we opened lots of photos as a stack into a timeline then made each layer a different frame and changed the delay of each frame to short enough so that it looked like a video and not lots of glitchy photos. I created this GIF of Owen spinning a skateboard 360 degrees using a video file and creating layers from frames in the timeline animation workspace of Photoshop.

The Hunted Interactive website

The Hunted Interactive Film Website Heres the link to my site: https://thehuntedwkc.wixsite.com/mysite We chose the blue and white colours because they contrast well being not too bright and harsh but standing out from the screen. The colours look professional because for example, Facebook's website has a blue and white colour scheme and it looks very sleek and professional and this is what we want to promote and show in our film and website.   We chose to write a synopsis and place that on the homepage of the website. We did this because we think viewers would be interested in finding a little bit about the film but not giving too much details away as to leave them wanting more and wanting to watch the film.  We chose to place a video on the homepage swell that automatically plays when you first click the website link. We did this so the viewer could get a first glance at whats in the film to tease them a bit and engage them.  Our website is simple yet intuitive an
