This week we learnt about Cinematography, and how visual effects is a major part of mise en scène within films.
Having done a BA in Film, this was something I was confident in. We focused on lighting, the three-point rule and techniques particular films have used. We explored the difference in harsh lighting and soft lighting, and how this can affect the mood of a scene. For example, harsh red lighting or white lighting could resemble tension and urgency within a scene, whereas soft pastel colors and lighting would resemble a calmer atmosphere, and perhaps a more relaxed character.
As homework, we were asked to express what ‘time’ means to us within a mood board of pictures we have taken. To me, time represented to me more than anything nostalgia, so I took a trip back to my home, and took pictures of things from my childhood room.
