Chapter 5 Homework

2. Color temperature is an expression of the proportion of red to blue light that the light sources radiates.
-As color temperature increases, the light becomes more bluish. Whereas when color temperature decreases, the light becomes progressively more reddish.

6. The key light represents the function of the sun and provides the distinctive highlights and shadows in the scene. The fill light is used to create depth and dimension in the subject's face. It is often set to produce illumination about half as intense as the key light.

7. High side lighting-when the key light is placed higher than the subject to be photographed and to one side of the camera, somewhere between 30 and 45 degrees over from the camera axis and high enough so that the light can bed aimed down 45 degrees or steeper at a subject.
-Side light (Hatchet light)-splits the subject in half.
-Side-rear light-the key light is placed to the side and somewhat behind the subject.
-Top light-the key light almost directly above the subject.

11. The equipment you need for field assignment are two focusing quartz,  one focusing mini light, and one folding fabric reflector.

13. You light a news conference with a the-light setup. Set up a key light and fill light and add a backlight to help separate the subject from the background. If your lights are more than seven or eight feet from the subject, use at least a 650-watt bulbs.

15. The safety precautions you observe when working with lights are never touch quartz bulbs, allow bulbs to cool before packing them away or setting them on objects, serious retinal damages can occur if bright lights are used closer than three feet, avoid shining bright lights directly into the lenses of older cameras, avoid plugging more than three lights into an electrical circuit, avoid 1,000-watt bulbs whenever possible, use only extension cords that are large enough to handle the job, and never discharge batteries completely or overcharge them.

Three Point Lighting (Back light)

The back light is placed behind the subjects and lights it from the rear. Rather than providing direct light, its purpose is to create definition and subtle highlights around the subject outlines

Fill Light

This is the secondary light that is placed on the other side of the key light, Its used to fill shadows created by the key light . The fill will usually be brighter and softer than the key light

Key Light

This is the key light. this light is usually the strongest and most influence on a scene. It is placed one side of the camera/subject so this side is well Lit.

No Lighting Photo

This is the No lighting photo, which is very plain and does not have too much definition.

Chapter 1 HW (1-5)

1)According to Larry Hatteberg a KATE-TV journalist, anyone with a camera is a photographer. The qualities that separate a photographer from a photojournalist is that a photojournalist has to able to tell a visual story. First by "Telling" the audience is lecturing then by "showing' the audience is teaching. Finally by "Letting the audience experience the moment" is a visual storytelling.

2) In the sense of realism is how cameras and microphones are writing and reporting instruments the sharp crisp sounds of new events give us a sense of being there and having experienced the moment. these instruments can be used to heighten the story's sense of realism

3) The edit console can be called a rewrite machine because it is where television journalist put on idea in a relation with another, where quotations from news sources take form as sound bites and are positioned to help give the news story its clarity. Also where journalist position and emphasize that sound within the story. Also this is where the voice over is tightened and sometimes "rewritten" after it has been transformed from words on paper to words in air to words on video

4) News stories are meant to be read out by the news anchor rather then internally by a general audience

5.The role of written words television news is to serve as blueprints to help guide the pictures and sounds that make up television's content. Using words help interpret and explain what pictures can't say.
