Obsah

Function of using the light for shooting:

1. Light as a basic technical prerequisite for the creation of an optical image.
2. Light from the point of view of information about the properties of objects of scenic reality, their texture and reflectivity.
3. Light as a means of artistic stylization of optical representation.
4. Continuity

Light:

From the cameraman's point of view, light and its exposure effect can be evaluated from three aspects:

1. Quality

a) quality given by its spectral composition,

b) quality given by the nature of the light source (spot, diffuse).

1. Direction

a) promoting or suppressing the perception of displayed space

b) promoting or denying the perception of the actual shapes and volumes of displayed objects.

1. Intensity

a) the intensity of a single source and the modification of its distances

b) composition of intensities of several sources: main, supplementary and auxiliary light.

Výsledky učení

The course is designed to acquaint with the theory and practice of lighting in film and television. The starting point of the study is the knowledge and analysis of daylight and non- daylight situations given by natural sources. The course continues by getting acquainted with the properties of lighting means in terms of their usability to imitate natural and artificial sources.

Teaching is accompanied by demonstrations of lighting constructions both in real environments and in studio with objects of basic importance (human face, figure).

Special attention is paid to lighting linked with the properties of recording media, thus introducing practical exponometry.
