Weekly Blog-September 28th-October 2nd

I sketched this myself. It represents a film set. The window in the background is made of blue glass. The light from outside comes through the window, shown by the waves of blue. The couch is white but turns blue because the light coming through the glass turns blue. In class and in the IFDM Program, lighting can be used with colored glass to create an emotional effect or mood for film, animation, or even lighting for a 3D model.

These two pictures are my own and are the same picture. It was taken near the Belen airport in Belen, New Mexico. The Manzano mountains are towering over the city of Belen. The first image is hazy, dull, and isn't at all appealing. In Windows Photo Gallery, I increased the contrast, tint, and saturation, kept the brightness the same, and lowered the
color temperature. Fixing the color of a film sequence can help me in IFDM to create visually appealing and interesting films. For this class, I can energize my animation with vibrant colors. Color can change the way an audience views a film and the concept that is portrayed based on that color.

This is also one of my photographs. It is a bush on the side of my house. The bush is focused in the foreground, while the brick wall is unfocused in the background. I can use this in IFDM to focus a camera in a film to highlight one object or idea. The background is blurry signifying that it is less important. This affect can be used to capture the attention of the audience. Focusing can pertain to many elements of media for this class. For example, focusing can be applied to a 3D animation, when trying to distinguish foreground and background space.
