In our group video editing project, we have focused on Bowman field. Our group thought of Bowman field as an excellent open field and perfect natural light source. In film and photography. light sources are key in producing a clear and well saturated image. My group dealt with the challenge of finding the best times to film in order to have the best natural lighting. We discovered that environmental factors such as changes in weather and time of day when filming effect the quality of the light source. Unfortunately, there had been a lot of rain, fog, and cloudiness during this week, which did not result in a good light source. Light affects the tone of a film or photograph. Bright colors and light can be associated with happiness. Darker colors and less light can give a darker tone. Since our group did not have control over the environment factors, we realized that we could show different levels of light displayed on the field to represent the type of message we want portrayed in the film. Different levels of light can be used to depict the changing in seasons. The differences in the natural lighting enabled our group to represent our desired tone for the video.
