Spring Equinox Event Photography | Reviewing final outcomes…
This space had some better lit areas than the other evening events I have shot during this module, which is probably a main reason why I produced more portfolio-worthy shots. Subframing However, I have also been inspired by fellow coursemates Bronte Carter and Erin Cooper-Jones’ method of using objects in the environment to frame my…… Continue reading Spring Equinox Event Photography | Reviewing final outcomes…
Exhibition Event Film | Reviewing final outcome…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOrZGTVySHA&t=2s There was initially no specific use outlined to us for the footage captured at the Human Aquarium launch, other than video documentation of the event. So for the most part of this film I took on the role of director, even though I would consider the client to be Yorkshire Life Aquatic. From the…… Continue reading Exhibition Event Film | Reviewing final outcome…

In particular: Colour balance & continuity Unlike the Human Aquarium Event Film, I dedicated more time on adjusting the tint and temperature of each…… Continue reading Summat Event Film | Reviewing final outcome…
Grow Wild Exhibition | Event Photography
I think these photos successfully document the atmosphere and content of the Grow Wild exhibition. However, technical areas for improvement/further study are: White Balance; there were contrasting temperatures of light coming from various sources. I think this makes the photos unusual and represents the atmospheric lighting of the space. However, it was difficult to judge…… Continue reading Grow Wild Exhibition | Event Photography
Sound Blending in Premiere Pro
One of the issues with my film documenting the Thrive exhibition was sound blending. The audio levels were inconsistent and there was a noticeable ‘audio pop’ with each cut in the audio. Here I’ve watched some tutorials to see try to create smoother transitions in the audio sequence. I have attempted using Premiere Pro audio…… Continue reading Sound Blending in Premiere Pro
