During this class, the teacher asked us to take photos of our products and make some videos. I took some materials as the background for the shooting in the class, because I thought it could better to express the style of my product. I also made some styling and makeup to match the atmosphere of the product, and it was successful! I chose a dark environment for shooting, because the theme of my product is about violence against women. However, in the process of shooting, I found that shooting with flash lamp of mobile phone in a dark environment could make the whole picture clearer and highlight the details of my shoes. I was so glad that I learned a new photo technique!
After taking the photos, I wanted to record a video that related to the theme of my product. I tried to turn my emotions into sadness. In order to simulate the mental trauma and physical harm of violence to women, I found it very challenging. My classmate gave me some advice, she asked me to try to mess up my hair with my hands to express painful and struggle, which was very effective and made my video more infectious.
In this lesson I learned some shooting skills, in the previous media classes I have never think that I can take materials as the background for the shooting, just use school background, it was very common, because everyone in the school to shoot that the background was the same, so took materials to photograph was a good choice. I think I have made some progress compared with before, I not only made photos just for look well, but also integrate myself into the whole shooting atmosphere, this can better express my ideas. In the end, I hope I can make more progress in the next class!
