4.1 - Primary Research - Photography

Primary research

- Photographer - Yoshito Darmon

- Aesthetic - Quality of the image

The three main aesthetic rules are:

The rule of thirds

- The image is divided into nine equal part by horizontal lines and vertical lines.

The lead room

- Lead room is the space in front, the direction where the person is facing and looking towards.

The headroom

- The headroom is a close up shot of a persons face to show there feelings and emotions.

The white balance

- White balance is a type of camera settings that puts the lighting together. It makes the image lighting more suitable for the place it has been taken.

The complimentary colours are to do with the white balance because if the image is blue then you will need to add some yellow. We know this because of the primary colours.

4.1 - Missy Elliot music video review

Missy Elliot "Get ur feak on"

I was looking at this music video of Missy Elliot's song "Get ur freak on". The video starts with some flashing pictures that make the camera sounds which makes it effective because we see other famous people are in the video. They also used some CGI which means Computer generated images. This makes the video more interesting and it looks like they are moving really fast but they are actually pictures which are faded in really fast. We hear a man speaking in another language after the flashing images. he is doing the splits but against two walls. Then we hear the tune of the song and some dancers. We also see fast moving images of the dancers and I think that this works well with the tune because it stops at the beats. When we see Missy Elliot singing she is wearing a denim jacket and others are wearing colours that are the same as the background. This shows the contrast between the background and Missy Elliot's denim jacket. We see Missy Elliot inside the drains and in a dirty place. Missy Eliot has a change of clothes here and is wearing a white body suit with gold patches on the shoulders. We see more dancers dancing differently to before and are dressed in black overalls, glasses and hats. This matches the dark atmosphere and the background. After that we can see Missy Elliot and dancers at the back of her and then she turns her head and throws her spit towards a man. She spits into his mouth and then his face shows how disgusted he is of her. While the dancers are dancing we see a someone hanging from a chandelier and swinging from side to side. In the rest of the video we see dancers and Missy Elliot singing. The mood and beats of the music changes towards the end and there is a blue light shining on Missy Elliot. They show Missy Elliot inside a bright yellow car. This shows the contrast between the gutters and bright colours.
