week 3 memory check

Memory check (based upon your research and homework)

1. Film Noir can be a difficult/technical subject to photograph.

Explain THREE considerations you must make when deciding on the camera settings

-Lighting 

- ISO higher ISO the more grain you have. (noise) 

-Aperture- If the camera auto-adjusts the aperture, it will use a wide aperture in order to get more light in.

- Shutter Speed- When there isn't much light the shutter speed will be slow in order to allow more light to get in, this will cause the picture to become blurry.

2. Name the three main light sources used in Film Noir (think back to the video we watched)

-Key light

-Hair/back light

-Fill light 

3. What is the photographic term given to the low-light style of Film Noir lighting?

-low-key lighting 

4. Detail FOUR considerations you must take into account when shooting on location.

-Staff/students

-Weather

- Not to trespass

 -Accidents (placement of equipment)

5. List FOUR health and safety considerations when using equipment to produce your photography.

-heat of the lights (redhead)

-Wires 

-Taking the equipment (careful of being robbed)

-Be polite when talking to others (in-case if you need someone to move so you can take your shot)
