Write a brief description, which explains what happens in the video:

Its explaining or expressing his personal experiences and relationships between memories, Political history in relations of Social changes. He does this through an unfamiliar context borrowed from experiences of this and it is constructed a network of subtle associations between distinct sets of material. 

Observations about the piece:

I personally think that it comes a cross as him wanting to represent freedom from what I could gather together from watching the video.

It wasn't engaging or very eye catching, the narrative wasn't clear enough for myself or the peers around me at the time; I couldn't exactly understand what he was trying to explain. Discrimination? Poverty? 

To further add, the audio wasn't clear, the music if there was any didn't seem to have much of an impact of the visuals. 

The visual were very good as it seems like the flash backs were captured during a war and its not easy to achieve such images he did. 

Projection.

Created By: Andrea Fraser

Date Created: 2008

Write a brief description, which explains what happens in the video :

A Psychotherapy session in which the viewer is addressed as the Therapist, Patient and Voyeuristic. 

The technical sense is viewed as the session be displayed as a moving image being diverted to different side of the room, you as the viewer will need to turn around back and forth to get the understanding of the whole concept.

You as the viewer feel like your actually part of the session as the patient/therapist is looking directly at the camera, so this has an effect of feeling as though she is actually having a conversation with you.

Overall this is called 'Psychoanalysis' - Unconscious transfer of desires or transcripts of real psychotherapy consultations adapted into two monologues.

Observation: As the whole concept of this video was to feel like you were being spoken to, it was definitely engaging as at some point. You would catch yourself speaking as if you actually feel like your in the session yourself. At some stages, you would feel about of place because the prospective would change, as well as the mood because it would change to the woman counselling you, to you listening and taking in what she has to say. So you would feel as though your being out on the spot as you wouldn't expect such a drastic chance to take place. 

Visually, it was rather simple but it was definitely eye catching as it made to want to sit down and see what happens next or wonder what she is talking and why is it set that way. The audio was clear, very understandable as it should be and loud enough for everyone to hear. 

Notes for the insert of ABLA & CS

Filming; 

-better focus on shot. 

- shots of the mac computers are needed within the visuals, along with more visuals needed. 

- if you don't have enough footage - DONT DRAG OUT. 

- Melanie was talking about herself too much. 

- students personal opinions on why they are here and their future references are to be included. 

- shots were shared around on both inserts. 

HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE: 

- see what's on the paper ( focus). 

- shot of the other campus. 

- follow the rules of the college; no hoods 

In GENERAL; editing. 

CS - more footage needed > clients know that the footage couldn't be rendered on the day fully. TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES. 

ABLA - leave the caption on for a longer period of time. ( ask about the font) 

The advantages; 

The music was good overall on both parts. 

It was very realistic and visual.  

To be done; 

Permission slips for filming those with a disability on the other campus.

Lighting

What Is Hard/Soft Light?

Produces well-defined, dark shadows and tends to originate from a light source, which is usually located far away. Where as, soft light produces soft shadows or no shadows at all. This is normally done by either, adjusting the light or cover the light with non-transparent objects or changing the angle. Hard lighting is produced normally on sunny days, where they are little clouds, like wise other weathers such as rain etc. will produce soft light.

What is good about using strong directional lighting in portraits?
Its good because it brings out the person's skin tone, giving the skin a soft, glowing and clear appearance; Radiant. Along with directional lighting, the skin will appear to have no impurities which magazines like Elle, Vogue, Cosmopolitan are looking for.

What is Clam Shell lighting?

Calm shell lighting is used for portrait shots, by using a light source, also with a reflector. This helps reduce shadows from dark places on the face such as the nose, neck and eyes or anything that covers bruises from the face, making the face much clearer.

The way it works is, the light source is posted much higher above the person head, so the light comes from the top as if it is the sun, at this moment the light will produce shadows on a persons face mostly in areas that light can not reach such as under the eyes, neck.

What is Rim Lighting?

Rim lighting occurs when the main source of light is placed behind the subject, which means the subject face is in the shadow. Also, there is a rim of light present around the subject's head. As seen in the image below.

What is Light Graffiti?

Is a technique in which exposures are made by hand held light or by the moving the camera depending on the shutter speed.

Reason for choosing such a portrait:

This image professes the natural beauty of anyone's face with or without make up. The shot itself is plays with the eye contact of this lady, which is heavy and intense indicating that she may be trying to seduce or capture someone's eye. The magazine I have chosen is Elle or Vogue because it think it is appropriate as the background of each image is black based, giving the images a masculine effect or aura.

This is a magazine that includes fashion trends, celebrity gossip, hair & beauty tips etc.
I have chosen this magazine because my pictures are quite relatable, interesting and expressive. I have also chosen this magazine because this image above to be the front page of vogue or Elle as it has a glossy effect representing class and sophistication .

I think that this magazine will like my pictures because they are very expressive and eye catching  due to the various lip colours, along with the lip colour the skin tone and hair style within the images are the same so it doesn't the viewers eyes of the main subject; lip colour.

How I am going to remake it?
