Studio shooting

 Here are a few images of my female role getting ready for the shoot. Elle made sure she wore an off the shoulder top today so she was naked from the collar bones up, giving me the perfect image and film I needed to create this part of the video. Here she is applying the red lipstick I asked her to wear, as the representation of the female role is seen as wanting male attention with wearing bold red lipstick, hence the reason she is wearing it today.
 These images where taken as I learnt which camera length was the best. I took both images and film at different lengths, mid and close ups, during this process, as i felt that a variety of different shots would look good edited and chopped throughout the video.

Working with the camera

 After watching a video on changing settings to fit specific lights and focus on particular points, I took some pictures to show the difference between these aspects. 
The first image is set with an ISO of 1600 and an aperture of 5.0. I later figures that these images where not the best in the dark as I didn't have the correct lense to take these sort of images, I later changed this.
 This image was taken on night mode with a considerable low ISO setting, as you can tell the image is too dark
 This was taken with a high aperture, making the image much lighter and unable to provide the perfect image for my media 
 The same goes for this one, I used a lens that only went down to 4.5 in aperture, which is not what the video said was the perfect aperture for night recording, the image was too light and you couldn't read everything on the screen.
 The next two photos were taken with a different lens, a lens that was able to go down to 1.0 in apeture. This lens is the correct and most suitable lens to use when recording in the night, as the aperture settings can be changed to suit this and let in a certain amount of light in. this camera lens will be the one I use when recording in the dark as it provides the right settings and captures the highest quality images/
As you can see, this lens really pulls at the focal points and the image is clear and less grainy.

Original images before manipulation


 These images are all images for the single inside cover of my digipak. The darker images would need some manipulation in order to see them properly and be the best quality they can be.

COLOURING

In my video I want to add a vintage look.Not washing out the colour completely but still adding a colour enhancer on to the video. This YouTube tutorial really taught me the basics on how to colour correct and helped me widen my knowledge to do so.
 

Video on camera 2

Again with this video, it gave me seven tips on how to shoot in low lighting. This video contained aspects that the previous video did, such as aperture change. However it also added information such as adding more light and changing the shutter speed to fit particular situations. This video again helped me develop my knowledge and understanding on how to work the camera in different settings and has bettered my ability to apply it.

Video on camera

I decided to watch some videos to help me understand and use the camera in dark lighting, these videos taught me how to change the aperture to fit particular settings and lighting, helping me to find the most suitable settings for my video.

Location recce shots


 These images where taken at Attenborough Nature Reserve, somewhere that I would like to film parts of my video at. 
Closer to the time of recording, I will decide what time of the day I would film these scenes, however these photos were taken at around 7:00pm, not too dark nor too light.
