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.

S.C. STATE Pedestrian Bridge Midterm Video Challenge

The S.C. State Pedestrian Bridge is UP and running!  After several moths of construction, the Pedestrian bridge is finally complete. Now due to the bridge, students who live in the off campus housing located across the street from campus are able to walk to campus without fear of possible injury or harm from crossing the busy street.  Our job as editors was to compile footage into a :30 or :60 sec commercial highlighting the growth of the bridge. Enjoy !
