My Photos - Movie Stills

The movie still to reproduce:



  • 14 seconds
  • AP 8
  • Filter 2

The digital test strip


This photograph was pretty hard to reproduce because in the original film still was located outside and there was much more space between the people. Our "set" was very small so I had to work with the limited space that I had. That required me having to stand up on a chair to get a higher angle at a farther distance. Also because the original movie still was outside, there was a natural light setting. So to recreate this, I had lights placed higher up on both sides of the people. A problem with this photograph that I should have noticed was that there are white wooden boards in the background and it makes the photograph look very messy.

The digital test strip

This was a hard angle to capture on my camera without zoom (my camera doesn't have a zoom). The set-up of the subjects is still not quite right because the person with the back of his head at the camera is not leaning in enough and his face is not turned enough. But as for the lighting, I put a high light on the the right side of the talking person's face and so there would be more shadow on the left side of his face. And also a soft box on the others person's top part of his hair.

  • 4 seconds
  • AP 3.5


The digital test strip

This photo was a very simple set-up with the lighting. It was placed indoors at a restaurant or something, so there is lots of lighting surrounding him. But there is also one light shining directly on the upper lift side of his face. So since there were already room lights, I just placed one lamp high up, beaming down on his forehead. But I think the black and white print is too dark.
