Day 1-
Today was a very odd day- the dreaded ‘UK Storm’ had hit
and practically all the trains at my station had been cancelled. I managed to
finally get myself into uni at 1:45pm after waiting at the station for an hour
and a half!
I’m going to be quite honest with today- I already am
very confident with using the exposure triangle, aperture, shutter speed and
ISO so I didn’t really learn anything from the talk at the beginning. It felt
slightly strange trying to take notes on things that I find obvious.
We were then split up into groups to mess around with
lighting for portraiture. We were encouraged to play with different settings on
the camera to achieve different looks to the image.
I actually spent most of the time in front of the camera
as the others weren’t too keen to model – it’s a rare position for me to be in!
Day 2-
We started off with a photography talk where there were
many good examples
Induction to camera/sound equipment and clr
We spent the rest of the day thinking about ideas for the
questions and object we were going to use for the ‘Who am I?’ project. I found
this quite difficult
Day 3-
In the morning we were shown some examples of animations
by various artists- I found it quite interesting despite it not being the area
I am interested in. The animations we were shown differed quite a bit from the
tv standard digital animation, they showed how much you can achieve within
animation if you think outside of the box.
We then had our initial crits for the ‘Who am I?’ project
in which I got some useful feedback. The importance of going out and getting
things done as soon as possible was stressed for the projects. I perhaps could
have done a bit more in this first week of the project but I will certainly
take this advice for the next projects.
