Test Shots

Testing
The following videos are the first videos i have filmed throughout this course. As it is my first try at filming the videos are very 'amateur-ish'. The following videos demonstrate the lighting which has been used. Having researched existing pop videos I found that there is a lot of bright lighting especially when the artist is singing against a white backdrop. My final idea consists of the artist singing behind a white backdrop for some scenes therefore I tested out the lights which are available to use in the college media room. 

Test Shots- Lighting


In this first video, you can see, I filmed with all of the lights on. 

  

In this second video, as you can see compared to the 

first video, I adjusted the position of the lights and brought them 

closer to the white background. I noticed that by bringing 

them closer, the footage was more illuminated and clearer 

thus looking very professional.There was three lights and 

they were positioned in a 'triangle'. For example, there was 

light coming from a left, right and high angle.

This video shows what the footage looks like without any lights. 

As you can see, it is dark and fairly unclear. It also looks very 

unprofessional. 

Test Shots- Cinematography

In this video, as you can see that I have started to 
move the camera. I have began to tilt the camera
going from high to low angles. I have also zoomed in and 
out.
