First of all, when I started filming, I completed my interviews. These interviews, where done with the SONY 4K camera, set up on the tripod with a Rode Microphone added on top. Either side of the camera were my two soft boxes, these were used to add light to the scene, and this followed my expected floor plan which I created. The lighting was used in a way which meant either side of the camera, there was light directed onto the subject of the interview, so shown here is the Gus Guest interviews. He is placed centrally, in the camera lens, so when starting the interviews, I fit the camera position to where the subject felt most comfortable this is because I wanted to connote comfort and relaxation in the interviews, so that the conduct interviews turned out the best possible in what they were capturing but also what their aim was.
The camera was used 4K in quality and during both the conducted interviews remained in a static position this is because of the fact that the lighting and camera settings were set up for that position, it also meets expected conventions. But the use of the camera, this created meaning by being a in a static position, this is because it staying focused on one subject can draw attention what that person is saying and allows the audience to focus on the person, which allows the audience to connote who is important in the scene. Additionally, I have changed the settings of the camera due too where I was filming this was needed when I filmed different elements of footage, so here I used a higher exposure and lower shutter speed, as I was recording static footage. This is because of what I wanted to create through the imagery, so it was key to be static, as the meanings would not have been as clear without it.
Then I have filmed this scene by using dim lighting in the form of the soft boxes which I have used. With this the soft boxes, I used the same set up as planned in my floor plans. The lighting in these shots was creating meaning with the light was more important that when using the camera. The lighting being lower, was done to connote drama, this is because the narrative tells the story of the football game and the club and using the lower tones in the lighting would help create the meaning of how hard a game can be. It is also done to show what the players go through, even though the shot is lower in lighting, it defines the players, because the shadow is deeper, so it is able to show the emotion in the body language.
I have adjusted the camera setting to the aim of this scene. When I set up the camera, it was also left in a static position but placed in an angle to achieve the widest shot possible, this is because I needed all of the team to be seen. The angle helps create meaning because it allows the audience to be able to view the body language of the whole teams. there is also the adjustments I made in settings. the exposure, had to be higher due to the dim soft boxes, compared to previous. This means that more ;light could be let into the shot so that the shot was not completely black and the emotions and drama could still be created
Here, is another of the scenes, which I have used cinematography features throughout. For this one, I used ambient/natural lighting to showcase the football games. the reason, I used ambient lighting is because I wanted to keep focus on the game and using ambient lighting creates the meaning of focus and showcases the game for what it actually is. I wanted to draw focus to the game and the concentration needed for the game, so I felt using ambient light created this as it does not draw from the game.
There was also the use of camera settings this, involved having around about about a mid setting on the exposure, this is because the lighting was able to be sufficient to not have to change the settings too much. There is however, a change in the camera's angle and movement, as the game had to be tracked, this is to help showcase and connote the fast pace measure of the game.
