Over the past few weeks, we have had a range of different workshops on lighting, editing, sound and general directing workshops. From these workshops we learn more about the art of directing and what is needed to successfully direct a production. This has also taught and extended our knowledge as to what directing involves and emphasises the amount of work that a director has to do.

In terms of lighting, we were able to try a range of different lighting set ups to help us decide what set ups, if any, we would like to use within our own production. This included
- Three Point Lighting; a standard method used in visual media, it involves using three lights, a key light, a fill light and a back light to light an object within a scene.
- High Key Lighting - a style of lighting for film television or photography that aims to reduce the lighting ratio present in a scene, originally it was used for technological reason, but it is now used to suggest an upbeat mood, normally present in comedy dramas or sitcoms.

Using lighting within productions is vital to all aspects, its vital for the story and vital for the mood. Within my production of Nerve i would prefer to use purely natural light, i want to try and create something that is very raw and clean cut, i want it to bring a sense or realism to the audience and for that i believe natural lighting would be best. Any lighting issues i do have i will endeavour to rectify in post production.
Moreover, we have had a range of camera workshops, including on Sony EX's and PMW's as well as DSLRs. DSLRs are very effective as they are light, portable and can have very good lenses to produce very high quality pictures. However, my one issue with a DSLR is sound, its more difficult to catch the specific sound that you want to capture with a DSLR, and sound is such an important part of the production that i wouldn't want to use a DSLR. Also, i feel far more comfortable using a Sony as that is what i have most experience using and that is what i feel more at ease for my production to go smoothly.
