This shot is also a eye line shot because the chicken is looking at the feathers and then we cut back to the chicken but with a difference expression and because he  sees this he then runs away This can show that the chicken’s life is going to end which can also represent that rockets life will end as well.

Charlie Harris - Lighting.

3 point lighting

3 point lighting consists of three different lights: The Key light. The Fill light and The Back light.By using these lights you are able to illuminate the shots and also being able to control the shadows.




Key light
This is a Key light is the when the light is pointed directly at the subject. If you were to take a shot outside the sun would be your key light. The key light also creates the main illumination and is the main light source.





Fill light 
The fill light is when it makes the subject more visible. The fill light should be opposite the Key light.The fill light also balances the key by illuminating shaded surfaces.








Back light
The back light is when a light shines the subject from behind. It is almost like seeing a silhouette which is being formed from the light behind. 









High key
This is when there are no shadows and then what is left is strong detail. This type of lighting was used in Tv shows and films as a way to kill the shadows. They did this by shining 3 lights on the actor.





Back lit shots
This is when the subject is being illuminated from behind and this acts like a glowing effect around the characters. This can be dun by natural light or man made light as well.






Low key
This is when the shot is a dark image and only uses light for specific tones of the face or where ever. This shot is mainly used for dark shadows and can cause a slight sense of alienation.

What is your favourite type of device for accessing the internet?

  • tablet 
  • Console

Overall I found out that when people are aged around 51-60 + I found that they use the internet a lot less then the younger generation. I think this could be because they didn't have all this technology when they were brought up. I also found out that my parents and grandparents would either watch Tv  or read a newspaper to catch up with all the latest news. 

When I asked a few people at the age rang of about 10-20 I realised that 90% of them would use there mobile phones and computers in order to get onto the internet or to play games. I think this is due to the younger generation being brought up around the new technology and being brought up with it and using it in every day life.
