Practical Screen-craft - 17th November

Tuesday 17th November 2015 

Course Module - BAFI101                       Practical Screen-craft               Lecture - Stu Bailey

Colour Correction and lighting

Three point lighting - Typical set up for someone in front of the camera or within an interview etc. 

Light one - Positioned on the right or left side of the subject, high with a 45* degree angle - The first light is known as the Key light, main source of illumination. 

Light two - Positioned on the opposite side from the 1st light, high with 45* degree angle again - Known as the fill light, gives 1/2 power.

Light 3 - Positioned behind the subject, known as the rim light - Makes the subject stand out from the background. 

You can change the framing as well in order to eliminate any lighting or use a defuser or snoot to direct any particular light to cast shadow or shine.

Colour Correction

Little tweaks can make the shots look better. Premiere is a fantastic programme to use for colour correction editing. 

Always make sure to get a rough cut of your film before applying effects and colours. 

Editor hands the film to the colourist and then they will pass it on to the sound-man.

 Effects we used for editing the colour within Premiere were RBG Parade, Vector-scope and Curves.

All light (contrasts within the image) had to be no higher than 100, not lower than 0 - Illegal to be broadcast.
