  Light color in film helps establish mood and atmosphere in a scene. In an assignment my teammates and I were tasked with identifying the different light colors in two shots for the movies we chose in our case study "The Fallout" and "The Irishman". Atmosphere in a film is what a person feels while watching. In the Irishman the opening scene is of an old man being wheelchaired in a hospital. The hospital is very bleak, and the lighting color is cool. Cool lighting creates a blue or purple undertone. In the first shot shown below the atmosphere convey is lonely. On the other hand, in the opening of the movie "The Fallout" the lighting color is very warm. In the shot the main character is just getting up in the morning brushing her teeth. The lighting is warm because the sunlight she is getting from a window in her bathroom in the morning. Warm light creates red, yellow, and orange tones. This clip conveys a tired and exhausted tone.  

Light source describes where the light in a shot is coming from. It is also the strongest light that outshines the other lights in the scene. In the movie "The Fallout" There is a scene where the main character and her best friend are laying in a bed resting. One of the girls has fallen asleep while the other one watches her sleep. The main light source in this scene is coming from the laptop. It is a blue light that gives the shot dimensions of different colors and undertones like pink, purple, and blue. There is also background light that seems like is coming from a different room. this is an example of the light source being the main source but not the only source. The second image is from the film "The Irishman". Three men are in an outside setting looking up at the sky. the light source in this shot is natural light from outside. There are no other sources of light. There are shadows on these men's faces because the cinematographer was showing that the ligh...

  Today my teammates and I started our case study for our films. We choose two films that have genres that we would be interested in making out movies about. The two films we choose are "The Irishman" and "The Fallout". The Irishman genre is a crime/drama. The fallout is a drama. What we focused on in this case study was lighting. Lighting in film can be used to convey mood. Lighting also helps focus on a specific character, prop, or important part of scene. Color, size, and harshness are all considered when putting together the perfect lighting in a scene. In the graphic organizer below I described three different shots, their lighting, and what the purpose of making the lighting that way did. In the first picture a young woman can be seen with a blank expression on her face. The lighting is super shadowy and only one side of her face is clear. The light set up has a mixture of natural and artificial light. In this scene the young woman went through something traum...

  Camera work in films is used to enhance the visual experience for the audience. Each camerawork movement, shot size, etc. each carry their own purpose. In this blog post we will be specifically focusing on two of them. The medium full shot (cowboy) and the medium shot. A medium full shot is a shot from top of head to below waist. The purpose of this shot is to make a character seem combative. The medium full shot presents a subject as confrontational or dangerous. In this preliminary exercise we were tasked with finding a shot from a movie that matches this shot size. The shot I choose is from the movie "Spiderman: No Way Home". The shot achieves its purpose because it makes the main character peter look powerful and intimidating. The medium shot is a shot from above the waist below the chest and ends just above the head. The purpose of this shot is to capture a subject in a size like how we interact with people. The shot I chose for this one was from "Shang-Chi an...
