Introduction To Studio

we began our studio work in the first lesson, when we used the space to simulate an interview. Several people took on the roles of camera person, lighting and interviewer. The rest of us were being interviewed. We were given specific questions and we had some time to think about our answers. The studio space was dark and fairly small, making it more intimate so that the viewers would feel more involved. A three light set-up was used, with two lights shining on from behind the interviewer and person being interviewed and one bright light at the front, shining in their faces. The purpose of this lighting was so that the focus (the people) could be seen clearly. A BB170 camera was used and the film was taken in wide-shot, so that the viewer could see everything in the mise-en-scene. The chairs of the people were positioned slightly tilting towards each other. This excercise gave us a flavour of what it would be like to be a celebrity.
