London Film Academy

The London Film Academy is a UK film school situated in Fulham, London. it was founded in 2001 as a non-profit making trust, the LFA provides practical courses on a variety of film-making skills.

The first trip to the film academy was based on cinematography and the group ha the chance to experiment with the lighting that was provided. The lighting that was focused on was 3 point lighting. The three point lighting is a standard method used in visual media such as film, video, still photography and computer generated imagery. it is a simple but versatile system which forms the basis of most lighting.

As well as this, we learnt how to use tungsten lights. The tungsten light is the most common kind of incandescent lightbulb used to provide artificial light to indoor areas such as in the home.

While experimenting with the lighting, we used different colour gel filters which changed the colour of the photography, and the opportunity to also combine the colours to get different gradients.

The images below show that the first image, the group chose to combine the colours red and blue and then in the second photograph, we combined yellow and green.

Product Editing

Within the next half of the day, we took pictures of stills, again with the different colours at different gradients. The pictures below show how we used the camera at different angles along with the use of the different gel filters.

After experimenting with the lights, gel filters, cameras and filming. I have noted that in my post production course, i can use the gel filters, placing the different lighting at different angles to give certain effects and I can use the colours to enhance my posters and DVD cover.

The main colour I am thinking of using is the red and blue gel filters. This is because the film genre is drama, and I think these colours will match and suit the disaster that I have based my film around.

Research on the 7/7 Bombings

7 July London bombings: What happened that day? The bombings The bombers' journey began at 04:00 BST as three of the group - Mohammad Sidique Khan , 30, Shehzad Tanweer , 22, and 18-year-old Hasib Hussain - left Leeds, West Yorkshire, in a rented car bound for Luton, Bedfordshire.

London Film Academy The following week, we went back to the London Film Academy and learnt how to edit on the Apple Mac. The learning process consisted of knowing what the shortcut keys were and how to simplify the editing process by using them. These were keys J,K and L on the keyboard. By using these keys it helped enable us to fast forward and rewind clips. Colour correction was also taught to us. This helped us understand that if a clip was too blue or to yellow that the saturation could be changed, along with making the picture darker or lighter. Other aspects of the day included learning how to edit audio (fading out the music), cutting the footage provided (making it longer or shorter) and learning how to storage footage correctly on the Mac. After leaning how to edit, what keys to use and how to change the style of pictures and videos. I have taken into consideration that i can use these skills in my post production. I can use colour correction when editi
