Last week we compared some styles of lighting. We admired director of photography Conrad Hall's work in the film Searching for Bobby Fischer. We discussed the natural quality of his lighting, and how he allows the actors to move in and out of light, and doesn't focus entirely on lighting faces, but rather in creating mood and moving the eye to different parts of a carefully crafted frame.
We discussed shadows, and talked about how to best achieve shadows using a fresnel light. We also went over some practical tips for setting lights and c-stands, and introduced a few terms for various instruments and tools of the trade.
We also talked about color temperature and measuring that temperature using the Kelvin scale.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's homework assignments and our attempt to recreate what you saw in nature using artificial light.
