This project was rather interesting, and I really liked how we had to very carefully look at how the light affects the image. It could get rather tideuous specially when the rest of the class wasn't helping much or we were all tired but I tried to help others as much as I could. It was so annoying that we could not turn off the cealing lights because they did affect our pictures but I think that we still managed to make it work. I was lucky enough to not have to re-shoot, this was a project I would have not liked re-shooting. In the dark room things went pretty quickly since my times were pretty low. Overall it was an interesting project and it taught us a lot more about lighting.
Theory Notes:
40s:
Lifeboat-> Jenny
It was hard to find a picture from the 40s and this was the best one I could find that resembled the picture of Jenny. Here the woman looks rather sad and since it's called "Lifeboat" I doubt that it is a very happy scene but they are both looking to the side and the lighting is actually pretty similar since there is more light on her left cheek than her right cheek.
60s:
West Side Story-> Jenny & Fabrizio
I find this still to be pretty similar to my still expect for the lighting which is rather different. Here the lighting on the man is more on his cheek than on his eyes or nose but on the still the light is all over the face.
Now:
Inglorious Basterds-> group picture
I think that is pretty funny because of the mens facial expression and in the still there is a man with a pretty funny face. This one didn't have much limitations because it was made 2009, in fact it was made after Simone so it's possible that it has less limitations.

This is probably my favourite picture of the bunch, mostly because of Fabrizio's face and it just looks rather esthetically pleasing. It did take rather long to set it up but it turned out rather good in the end.

I like how Jenny looks very natural, and I find that it was a fantastic idea to have her talk to Fabrizio since the original film still is of the woman talking.

This picture isn't one of my favourites, I don't know it just doesn't say much to me and I don't really like how you can see the beam of light.
Image Bank:
This if from a movie called The Edge of Love made in 2008. What I mainly love about this picture is the vividness of all the colours. But there is some kind of spotlight on her because she is more lit than the people behind here. Also the light seems to be more concentrated on the top half of her body, thus supporting my theory of a possible spot light.
This still was taken by Liam Daniel. He has been doing film photography since 1989 and the first film he worked at was called The Garden. He enjoys black and white photography but because of the demand he has to do digital but he still enjoys using all the technology. He lives in North West London with his partner and two daughters.
This film still is from a movie called The Final Season, made in 2007. What I like about this one is that the men aren't in the middle of the picture and how the light seems somewhat more natural. Even though they have a lot of shadows all over and they are casting shadows, it is still possible to see their faces.
This was taken by Patti Arpaia, unfortunately I didn't find much information about her.

This film still is from a movie called Waking Up in Reno made in 2001. What I like about this one is that the lighting is very strong, and there is a variation of shadows on each person. For example, the man on the right has a lot of shadow on his main facial features therefor it's hard to see his face. Then the man on the left has light all over his face making it easier to see him.This was taken by Elliot Marks, he was born in Canada in 1914 and after doing wildlife photography, he Jonathan Livingston Seagull in 1973. He has photographed for some very well known films, such as the Pirates of the Caribbean. Unfortunately he died in 2003.
Mirjana Vrbaski:
Mirjana was born in Canada and grew up in Serbia, and she has been living in The Netherlands since 2008. She studied English lit. at the University of Guelph in Canada. She has done/will do exhibitions in group but she does solo ones as well. Her style is very simple but then again very complicated. She is quite the perfectionist and likes her picture to remind her of a certain historical time.
I really like this picture because it's rather simple but yet again it's nice. It's hard to explain but I like her lost expression and how she seems to not even notice the camera. Which if I remember correctly that is what Mirjana likes from her models.
What I like most of this picture is her body language and her facial expression. She seems sort of shy or scared. I like the contrast between the white she is wearing and the seat and the background. I also love how it looks like a very realistic painting, in some parts it seems as if you could possibly see the brush strokes.
I find this picture very intriguing and kind of scary. For me it shows the quiet side in everyone and the scary, almost demonic side in everyone. I wonder how the model got her face like that, but overall it is definitely a picture that makes one think.
