Basic luminance and relation scenes

Objective : Transfer the luminance contrast of an object into digital image tonality

Assignment: l) Grey square in exposition lighting (entire area of the shot)

a) a white figure against white backdrop

b) a black figure against black backdrop

1. Figure ( PC ) with modulating lighting

1. Simple tonal styling

a) set of objects in light tonality (lightened up as well)

b) set of objects in medium tonality (in respect of luminance as well)

c) set of objects in dark tonality (dimmed as well)

1. A study of portrait lighting in real settings

a) various distinctive light moods in real settings (approx. 5 shots in total)

b) analogy of the light mood from real settings reproduced in the studio

1. Silhouette of a figure in front of a window

Choose the ratio of minimum to maximum clarity in the area so that the figure plane still has visible tone while the clarity of the areas looked at through the window has minimum distance from white – all the time maintaining clear information and character of the exterior.
