Filming

I started my filming today in the college tv studio, I decided to use myself in the portrait as I looked at francis bacon's art work of self portraits which inspired me to do one of myself. I had help from my college friends Dan and Ben to help set the lighting in the studio and also the vison mixer as I could not do it on my own seeing as i was the subject being filmed, The lighting was a probelm as i could not decide on how I wanted the lights to be set for the scene as I wanted some shadow on the side of my face which we evntually managed to do in the end.

Here is a diagram I drew out of the studio to give an idea on how the setting was for the filimng of the portrait.

Using one of the three HD cameras I set up the shot of the postion I wanted to be in for the portrait. The shot was straight down the middle of the cameras view focused on the portrait of myself. I thought the shot looked good and captured 3 - 4 mins of footage which is all I would need for the editing process of my film.
