This shot was taken on a low angle, getting a full image of the background and the whole. This was a focused mainly on the person itself. The background was neutral colours such as greens and greys as well as having natural light hitting the face and one bit of the body being shadowed. 

This image was taken directly under the sun with a glimpse of the background din the picture. This was a straight camera shot getting a glimpse of just half the boy and the face. The background seems to be blurred out and focused into the images of the object itself. 

This image is a cool toned picture as the shadow from the sun is hitting directly at the picture and it blurs out the face and focuses on the clothes and the centre of the image. This shot was taken on a low angle to get the lower part of the portrait.  

This shot was also taken on a low angle with the sun directly hitting against the objects. You can see the edge of the two cars in the frame in-between the objects. All objects are positioned in an slanted position and it focuses on their face. As the sun directly hits the objects, you can see the shadow hitting the other side of the object creating an uneven tone to the warm tone image.              

  

 

This shot was a close up of the person  with shadows covering the background. The main light was focused mostly on the face alongside the back lights being switched off to allow the light to directly hit in the face of the person. This shot has the shadowing at the back and the light reflecting on the wooden shelf at the back. The lighting of the picture is mostly black to highlight the facial features of the person, the clothing helped merge with the shadows of the light due to the dark clothing that was worn. 

This video reflects the different uses of lighting. There is a direct light hitting the face once again with the red gel covering the top of the light which hits the side of the face. On the left side there is a complete darkness as the lights switched off and there are only two open faced lights. Once again the use of the dark clothing is faded in the background as the back lights are switched off, to enhance the red gel light shining on one part of the face. 

For this shot, as a group we only used to main open faced lights with two gels covering it, a yellow gel and a blue gel. The mixing of two gels is called natural density. This is when the two gel colour emerges to create a shadow that fades into the object. As seen here, there is a bottle of perfume in the near centre and the use of the two colour gels faded to reflect the light and fade the yellow and the blue to create a effortless shadow of the object.
