Light Source in Film

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 light is shining from above so there would be shadows on the lower half of the characters faces.

I would like to be able to break down certain media pieces to interpret them and respond or react accordingly. Some of the media I consume on the daily basis include social media, prin...

Setting, Set Design, and Props Preliminary Exercise

 Production Design  Production design is the overall visual look or aesthetic of a story. There are different factors that make up production design in a movie including setting, set design, and props. These three contribute greatly to the overall feel the audience decodes. The role that setting plays is showing the importance of the place the movie takes place in to the plot.
