Blog Post #8

I learned a lot about the process of choosing a lighting style. Before this class, I never thought about cinematography. Never really gave thought to the lighting, framing, composition. I didn't know you could reveal so much with just light. I don't really follow cinematographers. One man said that you have to have the picture in your mind. You have to know how you want to tell the story. One guy said that when he walks into the filming area, he turns on one light, then turns it off. Then he turns on another light, then turns it back off. He maps it out in his head. I think that is something I most definitely need to work on. I think I'll try that when I get ready to do my scene assignment.
