Please outline some points that you took away from the Lighting Lecture. Points that excite you, something that was completely new to you, perplexes you or even one you take issue with.
This week’s lecture on lighting was very helpful as it highlighted some key aspects of lighting that I was not comfortable with. Learning about different levels of exposure as well as how to adjust the camera in relation to certain types of light were two of the main aspects of the lecture that really helped my knowledge.
In relation to our shoot, it was important to learn about how we light different scenes and understanding the lighting of our location. This was very important as we are shooting on a beach. Understanding when the best time is to shoot due to the ever changing nature of natural light and what filters are expected were very integral!

List the things that you learnt from this experience – this could be things that went well or not so well.
I was quite unwell during this whole process but I did create the shot list for the film. This was important as it was a great chance to use a lot of different angles in shots before I created the shot list for our short film. Overall, my group did an excellent job and I cant wait to work with them later this semester!
