Reflector Activity



For this excersise, we practices using the aluminum reflectors ad compared the differences in the how it affected the cameras subject. Reflectors are used in film and photography to capture the natural light of the sun and bounce or reflect it onto the cameras subject.


 The first step is for the subject to stand in an area where the person holding the Reflector can bounce the sunlight off of the reflector and into the subjects face to provide a even amount of natural light.

As you can see, in the picture to the left the reflector is not being used and the subject appears to be dark.

However, in the picture below, the subjects face is evenly balanced with light and the quality of the picture has improved just using natural sun light.

The only issues we ran  into as we used the reflector
was making sure we had enough sun. On a day where
the weather is primarily overcast, you may have
trouble tying to find sunlight to bounce off the reflector
onto the subject.
