Lighting Use
Lighting use
Lighting is an important part of my show as I
wanted the whole thing to be extremely bright and colourful and inviting to the
audience. When filming the festival themed studio scene, I made sure to set up
for filming in direction of the sun so that everything was well illuminated. My
filming was planned during the middle of the day in summer so it was well lit
all around but I had made sure that the set I created was definitely going to
be lit and not in shade.
The music video clip had a very different approach
to lighting as I wanted more intense emotions to be visible in that section
when compared to the rest of the show. So I filmed the music video in the
evening as the sun was setting in order to portray the drama of the song and
the acting. However, I made sure that the area wasn’t too dark and ensured that
the bulk of the filming was done before the sun had really set. I also wanted
the blue light to be evident in this section as it links to the song title, the
setting at the beach and contrasts well against the evening sky. I achieved
this blue feature through filming the light up structures along the seafront as
well as using reflective blue paper to streak light across Ryan’s face in a
close up shot.
The final main segment of my show is the interview
in New York. I filmed this using a green screen so lighting was a key factor. I
had to make sure the screen was well lit to avoid shadows so the effects would
work at their best during editing. I achieved this by using the lights that
came with the green screen in order to create a strong artificial light that
would show up well against the green screen.
Representation of Social Groups
Representation of Social Groups
Group 1
White Scottish Male
The artist Louis Dunham from my show is my first
representation of a social group. I wanted to add diversity to the show without
completely changing the actors that I had available to use.
Ryan is from a Scottish family and so he is able
to do a convincing Scottish accent. This meant that he could represent Scotland
in the way that he talks. The representation wasn’t just achieved in the way he
sounded but also little words and phrases like ‘aye’ that are synonymous with
the way that Scottish people talk. The costume wasn’t vital in representing the
Scottish so I made sure Ryan dressed accordingly to a typical male pop star
each time we filmed. This was through jeans and bomber jackets - very
stereotypical young male attire that would fit any young English or Scottish
man.
Group 2
White Female
My second main representation is the white female
through Morgan as the presenter Megan Stanley. This social group is very common
for an English television show and is representative of a large proportion of
the country. Using a woman was a very important part of the show for me as I
felt it was extremely appropriate as it fits with the rise in strong female
presenters on the television. Morgan was perfect for this role as her natural
down to earth nature meant that she would be immediately relatable for anyone
watching the show. Morgan has a very clear English accent and so this
complemented the group she was trying to portray. Her outfits were also chosen
to represent the group. Her clothes were nothing out of the ordinary but were
picked with a slightly edgy vibe to them to illustrate the slight quirkiness of
her personality. The indie style Morgan wears is reflective of the music genre
itself so this is another layer of social representation.
