These are two images where I picked out for my final project where I explored using colour grading one image is without colour grading and the other picture on the side is a scene what made me calibrate the scene was that I saw the potential of the colours I could bring out of this image as it was a nice sunny day I had the advantage of the light shining on my focal point which was the architect is in this I made the shorts I did these colours bringing out the blue from the sky with a nice yellowy warm colour which gives a sense of security and peace.

Colour grading due to my research is the process of improving the appearance of an image for presentation in different environments on different devices. Various attributes of an image such as contrast, colour, saturation, detail, black level, and a white point may be enhanced whether for motion pictures, videos, or still images. Colour grading is very important when fixing exposure problems and having to correct an image that isn't clear enough,  It has the potential to elevate a good image to great, or a great image to outstanding. Not colour grading your images might lead you to miss out on some key points and focal points for the audiences.

Here’s a picture of one of the location we went to that I and Tex came across a nice place where there was like a tree, we was at the top of the hill Tex was leaning with his back to the tree and it looked like a peaceful setting and calm environment. One of the questions that I was going to ask him was what is his inspirations and what motivates him and with that question being answered it fitted well with the background.

Like the LED lights were mounted on the NX100 camera and the camera was just a little bit distant from Tex and I wanted to get more light on his face so I can remove a bit of the shadow. I took out the LED light from on top of the camera and I went close to Tex and pointed the light on him.

Like I was running out of time and things weren’t going according to my production schedule. I wasn’t able to get a day where me and Tex could film the interview because the studio wasn’t available so I had to work my way around and manage Tex being free from work and using my time wisely throughout the production, so I thought of another alternative to shooting the interview which was in the radio room in college and it looked a bit like a studio as it had a sound table and a few speakers, it was not what I was looking for but it would have only been the only solution if we didn’t manage to use the studio.

So the day I went to shoot my cutaways at Greenwich Park which was my chosen location as there were lots of nice places where I could shoot and there’s a place we can walk up a hill and you can see a great view of London city, I thought it be a great opportunity to get some shots of Tex looking at the view given a sense that he had accomplished his goal or he still aiming to reach at the top also given a sense that he is thinking high or big. On this day it was planned to shoot the interview with Tex at the studio but unfortunately, the studio wasn’t available for us to film the interview so therefore I decided to shoot the cutaways so it wouldn't be another wasted day.

# data[].attributes.body
So I went and do a pre-interview with Tex and I also took the opportunity to do my recce. I and Tex had our conversation of how the project will be and the concept of it. I took my notepad and took some annotations of everything he has done, starting off from how everything started and how he has evolved throughout the years since he started. We spoke about how gets his inspiration from, what keeps him going and what keeps him motivated.

I made sure I got as many information I need so the documentary can be interesting. Asking him questions in the pre-interview to note down, I asked him examples of what I was asking.

These types of string lights would look good in the background of the performance giving a nice decorative look.

This is me discussing with text for a suitable day to shoot at the studio for the interview.

I recently discussed with my tutor I figured out the structure

# data[].attributes.body
Due to some circumstances in relating to my other idea, I changed my mind to producing something I feel confident in making which is a documentary of my friend who is an aspiring rapper. In this documentary I want him to talk about himself, I also want him to express his passion for music, about what keeps himself motivated. I this project I want to film him performing one of his songs by himself with a nice background with a nice light setup with different shot angles.

The concept of this project is to bring a positive message across to motivate individuals to chase their dreams, work on their mental health and have a positive mindset in order to have a healthy lifestyle.

Thinking about the mise en scene, I am planning on shooting in the theatre with my friend on stage with a black drape in the background. I don't want my background to look plain, so I was thinking of maybe setting up a instrument for display, having a microphone with a stand. I was also thinking of getting some string LED lights to decorate the background.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my set up where I set up different lights and just exploring and experimenting light I've never used before such as the soft light.
I tried lit my object and background to get a nice decent colour ambient so that it looks clear on camera so i can the do some colour grading.

In this lighting experiment it gave me an insight of what to expect and gave me an idea of how I want to setup the lights and how may lights I need for the shoot.

# data[].attributes.body
In this video I got my colleague to stand in middle of the setup and I filmed him to see how it would look to when I get my friend Tex. so I done some camera movement to see whether my shadow would appear while filming or if I will be blocking the light. all of this experiment is going to help me plan carefully.

# data[].attributes.body
I experimented using the LED panel with a yellow and orange gel so that i could a warm ambient colour, this light is great because i get to adjust the brightness of the LED panel giving me more control

Due to recent conversation with my tutors, we discussed how I could get permission to shoot in st dunstan. we discussed possible filming with my phone asking people in st dunstan church what they like about the place but I wasn't so keen in doing that as I wasn't really interested in knowing what people thought about the church garden but to explore and find out more about the history of the place.

What in inspired me to create a historical documentary

What in inspired me to create a historical documentary

# data[].attributes.body
What inspired me to come up with the idea of wanting to create a documentary about the St Dunstan church was that I had been watching quite a lot of documentary based on ancient history, the artefacts and culture. There is particularly programme which is called The Watchman that streams in a television network called TBN where you can also watch it on YouTube and it is roughly 27 minutes per episode. In these episodes, the host goes around significant holy sites mentioned in the Bible in Israel and speaks to archaeologists and tour guides and they speak about the place and the events that occurred in the particular sites and discussing mysteries and the prophets that once stood there. In this programme, you learn a lot of interesting things on how people 2,000 years ago lived and what were their traditions and way of life.

So from this inspiration, I want to create a piece of a short documentary interviewing a historian or someone knows church well and have them speak about what happened to the church, why is the place unique, how it became an attraction point also how the church transitioned from a burnt and dreadful place and into a beautiful garden where people can go and visit have lunch.

Camera: the camera I plan on using is a NX100 possibly a DSLR as well. I want to use a tripod and possible a gimbal.

Sound: I want to use a radio mic so that when film everything is not tangled up and it gives the interviewee more freedom to show and explain certain things.

Camera style: i want a lot of close ups showing details also wide shot to give a nice view to the audience. I'll be doing pan shots, following action and doll. I'll leave the camera on manual focus so i have control of the focus.

I have looked up at the London museum website and found some interesting information about the great fire of London that could be useful for me to find out more about the event.

the website contains a lot of information about history and artifacts about London.

One of the interesting things I looked at was a stone age skull rescued from the river Thames, it seems like something interesting to document about but I am not sure if its something I really want to make a documentary about an object that is really small, I would rather document about something that is big and more fascinating, something that will catch the audiences eye and bring their attention and curiosity to the subject.

History of St Dunstan Church in the East

History of St Dunstan Church in the East

# data[].attributes.body
St. Dunstan in the East Church Gardens are often referred to as the most beautiful gardens in the City of London, and understandably so! The church itself was built in the early 12th century and survived unscathed until the Great Fire of London in 1666. Although the fire seriously damaged the church, it was not severe enough to warrant a complete rebuild.

In 1941 the church was completely gutted in the Blitz of the Second World War and lay in ruins for the next 25 years; in fact, the only parts of the church that were left unscathed were Wren’s tower and steeple. Eventually, the City of London Corporation decided to incorporate the ruins into a garden in 1967, and it was opened to the public in 1971.

I went to my potential filming location at St Dunstan church in which was burnt in the the great fire of London. i chose this place because of the history it holds. I find this location very unique

Day two of shooting I finally got to film my interview with Tex, so we planned to meet at the studio I was running a bit late but I managed to get in time and I set up the camera and the tripod. So as we were going to film the interview I verified that the light was good for the shoot. I was getting some natural light and the room lights, I was getting more natural light and it was a bit tricky to figure out what position tex should’ve positioned because of the natural light coming through the window as it was creating shadow from the left side of his face but right side of his face on the camera. On the day as well I had brought LED mounted light to put on top of the NX100, I tried to see if it made a difference to try and take a little bit of the shadow of his face but the natural light was taken over but I still managed to get a bit of a clear image and it didn’t look too dark so I guess it was alright.
