DIY assignment

Below is a Do It Yourself video for my Advance Production class. In this video, I will show you how to successfully delete your 'reserved space' on your NBA 2k17 for Xbox One. People delete their reserved space in order to have a better gaming experience. If you have a reserved space error, it disables you from playing certain parts of the game.

Individual Outside Portable Light Reflector Project

This project was assigned in my Advanced Television Production class with Mr. Harwood. We went outside to take pictures with and without light reflectors. The three photographs are: Person shot in harsh glare with sun directly behind; Person in same position with reflector bouncing sunlight onto subject’s face showing improved face lighting; Wide shot showing reflector in use to redirect sunlight.

Four Classic Portrait Lighting Techniques

The four classic portrait lighting techniques are the Rembrandt, Split, Broad and Butterfly lighting. In my advance TV production class, we learned and executed the 4 techniques.

Rembrandt Lighting consists of the key light, fill light and back light, you could find the definitions of that on one of my other blog posts below.

Split Lighting requires the key light only.

Broad Lighting consists of using the rembrandt lighting setup but the subject's face has to be turned off center so that the broad side is more exposed.

Butterfly Lighting gets its name from the butterfly shaped shadow that is created under the nose by placing the main light source above and directly behind the camera.

Three- Point Lighting

Three- Point Lighting

Three- point lighting is a method used in media e.g., video, film, still photography and computer-generated imagery.  It is a simple technique using key light, fill light, and back light to cast different lighting on the subject.

In my production class, we were asked to execute and photograph three-point lighting. 

These two photos show all three of the lights. The key light (the light to the right) this is the primary light positioned over the interviewer (Jalen Ryant) and the guest (myself). The fill light is the center light and it used to to create the light across the guest's face.

These photos are close-ups used to show the light across the subjects face.

These photos show a different perspective on the video interview scenario. It allows you to see the subjects face and the camera.

This was a project in my TV Production and editing class. This video shows students sharing their thoughts on the Election and Obama's legacy.
