HOW ISO, SHUTTER SPEED AND APERTURE WORK TOGETHER

Let's look at this diagram to learn a little more about how 3 of these elements work together to create a picture.

An example would be of you are creating a more shallow depth of field then you are allowing more light to come into you picture. You will have to either adjust the shutter speed or ISO to compensate for the change in light.

I used my mini SLR camera to find that the results of changing ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed are the same.They all lead the light brighter or darker.

There are some images that I took when I went to Xing zhong shopping centre with my mom at night.

Also I explored the change of different Shutter Speed when I went to park with my cousin. There are some pictures of my cousin.

It is the picture with high Shutter Speed.

I found lower Shutter Speed would lead less light go through the len. However, high Shutter Speed allow more light to go through the len.

It is with low Shutter Speed.

Exploration of music in noir

When I have a look on Youtube about the music in noir style film, I find that there are plenty of pieces of Jazz music. That is Jazz noir music. Here is one of the Jazz noir music that I have found on Youtube:

The instruments that have used in this pieces that I can hear are the piano, the saxophone and the drums. I know that saxophone is a really important instrument in Jazz music. Its tone is low and it lasts quite long I think in this pieces. I think this non-diegetic sound is more likely to use when the character was in the bar or chat with the others. 

But, Jazz music is not the main music to the classic era of film noir. It is more likely to use as a source music, which is the stuff that comes off jukeboxes, radios etc. in the scene.

Most of the music in film noir is modernistic orchestral music. But here, I just can find the modern noir songs. So here I give one of the songs:

Exploration of lighting in Noir

This video is talking about the basics of lighting for film noir. It is on Youtube. It gives much information about the lighting that is really useful. So I really recommend to watch it!

Also, I have created a voicethread for lighting in noir. I find some shots in films which is in film noir style and some shots in Blade Runner which is neo-noir style. Some of my knowledge is from the video I have given on top.
