Inspiring Lights.

 

I love this photograph because the background is beautiful. The ocean sparkles, and the sky has a great color to it. The ocean and the sky are divided at the bottom third line. The sun creates a silhouette for the two people, and the sun is also at their hearts ( cheesy but good.)

 

This picture is awesome because of the extreme depth of field. Only the animal is in focus, and the background is blurred so much.

 

This photo is gorgeous because the light shows you exactly where to look, which is at the person. Everything else is much darker. Light helps guide where we should look. The man is also on the sweet spot of the right and lower third corner.

This photo is my favorite. The background is out of focus while the girl is in focus. Only part of her face is shown so it creates a mysterious feel. The colors are beautiful, and you can see the suns rays going straight to the flower. You can see the girls face, but the sun creates a golden outline of her figure almost like a silhouette. Even her hair strands are bright.

I love this one because of the lines. The road disappears in the left lower third sweet spot. Tll the trees help create lines to guide your eyes in that direction. My favorite part of this picture, though, is the fog.Iit creates an abyss that makes you curious, not to mention the black and white enhances the whole feel to the picture by making it more dark and lonely.

This picture has amazing colors. The water is a vibrant blue while the sky is the opposite and a strong red, yellow, and orange. The source of light is coming from the left third of the frame, but what adds more character to the picture, is the mountain also on the left third. It creates a dark mystery of what could be behind it, which is also where the light is coming from.

filmingmaking goals

My goals in filmmaking are to create the most creative piece I can, to get into the habit of doing things the right and professional way so then making films with be a breeze. I will be in the flow. I want to be able to make better short films for Youtube and maybe a few music videos. Hopefully I can become a director in Hollywood. It’d be nice to make a lot of money, obviously. I just love to entertain people. That would be my ultimate goal. I love making short films that make people laugh or make people just think ,“wow that was cool!’’

My learning goals for this course involve me being a better director of photography, a better director, and just a better overall film maker. I want to make my shots look beautiful. I want to let my film have a great flow to it and look professional. I want to learn better camera work. Framing things in a special way would definitely help, too. The main thing would be lighting. I really want to better understand lighting and angles and so on. I am trying to get into photography too, so learning lighting for video will definitely help with that. The lighting can change the feel dramatically in a film. Hopefully when I have finished this course, my films will look like something straight from Hollywood, besides the explosions and special effects obviously. I am definitely looking forward to working with the DSLR cameras!

My visual style

Certain styles that inspire me are beauty shots, high contrast shadowy shots, crazy artstic shots, wacky photographs, and colorful unnatural paintings.

this beauty shot inspires me to just make a film that shows beautiful people and beautiful light. you dont have to find meaning in the lighting, but rather just think '' this is pretty.'' it shows someone's angelic beauty.

I love low key shots because of the contrast. it adds depth to the shot. it creates a mystery. you become intrigued by their character and it catches your attention. There is something about the unknown that sparks interest.

These are powerful artistic shots that inspire me. the colors, action, and depth of the pictures show me that there are no limits in art. It helps me open and free my mind to be creative.

I really enjoy colorful and abstract paintings. They open and free my mind so my thoughts become out of this world. the only thing that limits my film making is technology and money. i dont like having boundaries. i want the possibilities to be endless. I have to snap out of reality and go into the infinite to be creative
