Camera
Choosing the right view
To choose the right view for Matrouk, I asked myself; What I want to say about Matrouk? What is the most remarkable property in his character? I looked back to his story and find it, the answer was easy …it’s his pride and honor.
His life was miserable and hard, despite of that he still a good man, and nobody teaches him what is the pride or honor. But he senses a deep feeling in pride, honor and integrity.
My friend Matrouk was born with pride.
How can I show his pride clearly for all people? Let us leave Matrouk to take the pose that he likes.
Analyzing the pose and camera view
- He shows us his front upper body. If you want to show someone your pride, don’t show your back or the lower part.
- He curved his body to create a very nice “emotional” motion curve. This shows his confidence and pride.
- He reveals his wide chest, abdominals, and shoulders… this is an open pose and it reflects his confidence, it’s like saying that I have nothing to be afraid of, I am strong.
- His body is relaxed and in spite of this, muscles are showing their beauty and strength.
- The light are focused at his right chest and shoulder, it’s like showing his shield
- His wrests and legs are hidden in the dark, it’s like he is expanding from all sides.
- The face is directed to the sky, like he is watching his dreams from the heaven window.
- His eyes and face are mixed with sad feelings. We can see the past in the face but we can’t see the future.
- His private parts should be hidden.
- The bronze color is great for this pose.
The scene type for this shoot was mixed between the full shot and the medium shot, which gives us the ability to show his statues and to look close to the audients for better relations.
The Rule of thirds
Before rendering our image we should consider the rule of thirds for the camera.
The leading eye
I called it the eye tracking. It’s important to study the audience eye about the parts that will pay the eye attention including the priority of these parts. This tracking is very vital for me to tell and arrange my ideas for the story.
Tips:
The negative image will help to finds and discovers the lighted areas.
Light is not the only the dominion element in the art works, there are different standard elements for the dominion rolls.
