Basic brightness and colour relations scenes

Objective: Transfer the brightness and colour contrast of an object into digital image tonality

Assignment:

1.Grey chart in exposition lighting (entire area of the shot, on which the whole film is based without further editing)

2.Figure (MS)with big source lighting

a)a white figure against white backdrop

b)a black figure against black backdrop

3.Figure (MS)with modulated lighting

a)a white figure against white backdrop

b)a black figure against black backdrop

Technical notes: use the same white and black figure for items 3 + 4 and vary the character of your light.

4.Simple tonal stylization

a)set of objects in local bright tonality (lit as well)

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

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

5.A study of portrait lighting

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

6.An analogy of the real-life light mood created in a studio environment

7.A silhouette of a figure in front of a window

choose the ratio of minimum to maximum brightness 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.

a)a light figure - no grey chart

b)a dark figure - no grey chart

c)replace the figure with a grey chart under identical exposure conditions
