2. photo techs
In lesson I went on Sim cam and had to try and play around with the different aperture and shutter, the different settings where
shutter Aperture
1/4 sec f/2.8
1/8 secs f/4
1/15secs f/5.6
1/30secs f/8
1/60secs f/11
1/125secs f/16
1/250secs f /22
1/500secs
I had to try and find the right setting to make the photo the same as the one on the left hand side. It was hard because every time you changed each setting something wouldn't be right.
If you chose a small shutter the Aperture is is larger because the lens is smaller so is letting less light in. where as if you chose a large shutter the Aperture is smaller because the lens is bigger so is letting more light in.
3. semiotics and representation
Renee Magritte-'the treachery of images'
'this is not a pipe'
He calls it this because it is not a pipe it is just an image and isn't the really thing. The images represent reality.
Semiotics- is the way we read signs or images (sign systems allows media to be taken apart to show how meanings are created.
A sign, when it becomes noticed acts to signify meaning i.e. it acts as a signifier.
the meaning which is never more than an idea is called the signified.
Denotation- What you see
Connotation- What the audience personal view on the image and what the associations the images has to the viewer

ReplyDelete2 can you talk about the size of the hole in the appature is it bigger or smaller with a high f number?
3 good, but connotation is more about the associations that you personally have with the image
