Presentation for Report

I opened by explaining that my topic was cinematography and its threat from editing

I briefly explained the roe of the cinematographer in industry

I explained that editing software is advancing enough to do the cinematographers job in post

I explained that it is things such as colour grading and that many people have acknowledged this

I talked about how shadows and light can also be manipulated in post rather than on set

I spoke about how Oscar winner for Best Cinematography have been CGI films for the past 2 years

I spoke about cinematographers employment rates

I spoke about how some films such as ther above example of Skyfall are still stylised by a cinematographer on set

16mm Filming

16mm Filming day – 13/ 03/ 15

Present – Abby, John, Dan & Drew

Filming for my section went well, the road was quiet so I had very few problems with interrupting traffic. My sound was not as clear as I had hoped due to the wind, using a radio mic as it was impossible to use a boom pole. Thankfully it was a dull day so it was not too difficult to adjust the camera to the light either.

For Danny’s filming I was on camera and we did several takes of the same two shots. The shots were mainly naturally lit and this gave the shots a lovely orange glow.

14/03/15

Due to time delays on yesterday’s shoot we filmed Johns 16mm today. I was on sound for this production. Despite having a few shots in which it was tricky to place the boom because of the framing or because of health and safety, the overall filming went well and we completed all the shots that he wanted in his 16mm section.
