Study Cases for film Irish Man & The Fallout Lighting Set Up

 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 traumatic and is now reflecting on it. This lighting conveys a mood of depression.

Media studies have so far taught me the importance of understanding how the media is used to engage audiences.      What I hope to get out of the experience of learning media studies is generating a basic understanding of how media affects me and how I can apply to know those skills to my soon adult/career life. 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. Set design can also widely contribute to the feelings of the characters in the scene and props do this also. The production designer is responsible for production design. It is significant to audience because it helps convey deeper meaning for the audience to decode. The primary purpose of production design is to create a mood, articulate themes, and eternalizes the state of a character. The major responsibilities of a production designer include identifying a design style for sets, locations, graphics, props, lighting, camera angles and costumes. video link: https://youtu.be/wNXNEs2eBkg
