I did practice with different types of lighting.For the the blog I practiced the lighting with my brother and I took some pictures. Our sir told us about broad light,short light,soft light,hard light and half light.Also guys this is the video which I made along with my group members where we practiced lighting where we took a clock in pitch black and hovered a flashlight over it. In editing we added music. Here's the link:

Getting inspiration

Our media studies Sir has told us to study Pete's blog on a daily basis to prepare ourselves for our final As project. We are learning a lot, from minor details to major factors. It is really helpful and quite an inspiration, if you ask me. We started working on our research for the film opening.

Various types of film openings

We are researching as much as we can to see different types of attempts by previous Media Studies students, but we want to think of something different.First we, as a group, see to realize the importance of film openings and how to create it.

Composition : Rule of thirds

Hello!
In our practical media class we were taught about the basic composition of rule of thirds. Because it was my first class, I was a bit scared regarding the difficulty level of the subject while simultaneously being super excited about learning new and interesting techniques. Anyways, the "Rule of Thirds" is one of the main “rules” in art and photographic composition and stems from the theory that the human eye naturally gravitates in a "Z" formation across a certain view. So in other words, we were told to shoot by placing the main area of focus on one of the intersecting point on the basic 3x3 grid.
Here are some clicks I managed to take for the 2nd assignment.
