Outside Kean, same kind of drug deal suspicion in the plot. Girl 1 drops a bag in a trash can, we see an observer who sees it but does not suspect anything. Then we see girl 2 retrieve the bag with something inside. Now the observer is puzzled. Girl 2 takes out a big lollipop ( the joke being that it’s not drugs but candy in the bag) which is the signal for what then follows; a flash mob dance.

We had to have a stuffed animal be the que because we could not get a lollipop in time.

Exercise 3; Part 2: Script

Sight Sound & Motion




Open with a crisp November day; chillier than it has been in weeks, the subject is enjoying a warm cup of coffee to warm her hands, sitting on a park bench with a friend, enjoying the lazy Sunday afternoon.

They see a car across the street pull up to the trash can. The driver gets out dropping a bag inside. Nothing too suspicious...

Girl thinks to herself: throwing out some car garbage

Minutes pass and another car pulls up. The driver gets out and retrieves the bag from inside the trash can.

Girl: what was that?
Guy: something sketchy.

The car drives off and when they get a glimpse of the license plate, it is out of state.

Exercise 3; Part 1: Location

Sight Sound & Motion

            I decided my location would be a park bench uptown. It is in a slightly busy area by the fire house. When I was sitting I saw cars and people pass by. A car had stopped and parked across the street next to a trash can to my left. In front of me the clock tower showed the time; 3pm.  A man came to my right through the alley way between the firehouse and the train tracks walking his dog and walked behind where I was sitting, on towards the train station. Many people came and went, to and from the train station to my left. Also people went in and out of the bank across the street in front of me. It was cold. I had a coffee to warm my hands. 

Expressive Lighting



In this picture, the light source comes from the lower left angle and the camera is directly in front.







To re-create the chiaroscuro lighting I tied an apple to my ceiling fan, turned out all the lights, and held a flashlight in the lower left of the apple. I then too the picture using my cell phone.

Take-Home Question: Chapter 3: Lighting Director







I do not agree with the LD wanting to shoot the commercial using a fast falloff “to accentuate the nice bone structure of the model’s face.” For this particular type of add using flat lighting to expose the face with less shadow will show how clean and clear the product makes the consumers face.

 BIOGRAPHY
Laurent Baheux was born in Poitiers, France and is a contemporary photographer of nature. Through his love of editing in journalism he discovered his passion for photography. His skill and awareness of the world made him desirable to photography agencies, and in the beginning of his career he covered many international competitions. Africa, however, has always fascinated him. Since a visit to Tanzania in 2002, he began private work on wildlife. “He chose black and white, with its play on shadow, light and contrast, to immortalize rare and ephemeral scenes of nature, constantly trying to sublimate the animals, to capture the magnificence of their attitudes, the emotion of their look…” By doing this, Laurent wishes to depict the beauty of these magnificent animals that walk our earth.  He is very active in organizations that help and protect animals. He is the author of Land of lions, which some say is like “an ode to wild life”, as it is a moving body of work in black and white.
