Shooting Activity

Below you will find instructions on a day to day basis. Ensure that you work diligently so that you don't fall behind. 

Shoot Day 1 &2

Using the information that you gathered from meetings 1 & 2; decide from the given lighting techniques: Split, Loop, Rembrandt, Butterfly, Short and Broad which would compliment the mood/theme of the poster - choose at least 3 techniques with 2 different poses (6 total). 

The first model will pose facing the camera.

The second person will setup the strobe on one side and the reflector on the other. There should be lots of light on the model.

The third person will be the Photographer.

Photographer poses the model, lighting person positions the light and reflector bounces light onto the model from the opposite side. Each person should have at least 6 posed shots (you may tilt the head on some but it is important that you have most of the face facing the camera). Save the roughs photos in a folder located in your culminating folder called: Test shots.

Depending on you final mood of your image, you will need to decipher which 
tutorial will give you the desired look you are after: 

Glamour: Softer feel with lots of light on model. No harsh shadows.
Dodge & Burn: Edgier feel. Used with rebelling themes or something that is more harsh than glamour.
Sharpen: Darker mood result. Evil looking image with high contrasting shadows will result with this tutorial.
