This is the result of my SAE Lighting basics assignment.
Overall, it went reasonably well, but lighting is certainly one of my weaknesses.
Brief:
• Each student is to produce an edited video clip containing of the following shots:
◦ Long Shot (LS) High Key 3-Point Lighting on black background.
◦ Medium Shot (MS) High Key 3-Point Lighting on black background.
◦ Close Up (CU) High Key 3-Point Lighting on black background.
◦ Long Shot (LS) Low-Key Lighting on black background.
◦ Medium Shot (MS) Low Key Lighting on black background.
◦ Close Up (CU) Low Key Lighting on black background.
◦ Medium Shot (MS) High Key 4-Point Lighting on location.
◦ Close Up (CU) High Key 4-Point Lighting on location.
◦ Creative Experimental Shot
◦ Lighting recreation High Key (Select one shot from a movie and recreate the composition and the lighting)
◦ Lighting recreation Low Key (Select one shot from a movie and recreate the composition and the lighting)
• The composition of the shots must give the image context, a sense of depth and a main focal point.
• The student must be the Director of Photography and Camera Operator for this project.
• White balance must be set correctly for the lighting conditions.
• Camera must remain static and focused on the subject.
• Exposure must be balanced with all other elements within the composition to allow maximum modification when color-grading.
• Every shot must run for a minimum of 5 seconds.
