All of last week we had to rush through the lighting unit in only five days. Since I was out on Wednesday I only had four days to do everything plus a quiz and didn't get through about three assignments. Lighting itself is actually pretty simple to learn because there are only six different types of lights that we are working with at the moment. The six different types of lighting we are doing is free spotlight, target spotlight, free direct, target direct, skylight, and omni lighting. Basically my week started with me getting about eight assignments that we have to do in five days and the first assignment took me the entire day to do so I was pretty stressed out, but the next day I got two more assignments done so I was happy. The first assignment that I had to do was I had to find six different photos that went with each of the lighting types and explain how they represented that type of lighting and how they improved the scene. The next two assignments that I had to do was create a desk lamp where I created a table and then make the lamp base and the lamp shade as well. Then we put a light inside the lamp to mimic a lamp light, then we also have to add two more lights to light the rest of the scene. For the light inside of the lamp I used a free spotlight, then to light the rest of the scene I used two omni lights, one to cast a shadow and another to kind of light the back of the lamp. The next assignment was where I had to create a mini stage and put two things onto the stage then create different spotlights for each other of the items to make the shadows look cool and different. What I decided to do was make one of the shadows a soft red color and the other one a soft blue color so that there was a lot of contrast between the two. All in all, lighting hasn't been too difficult but the small time limit has made it extremely difficult to get everything in on time and I am definitely going to have to go for tutoring to get the rest of the assignments done.
