4.1 Rihanna- What’s my name review

Rihanna- What’s my name review

What’s my name is a song performed by recording artist Rihanna taken from her fifth studio album, Loud. Featuring Drake, the song was released as the second single from the album on October 29, 2010. The R&B song was produced by Norwegian production duo StarGate with strong reggae and ska beats.

The song is one of Rihanna’s best vocal work, it also has a nice romantic nature to it.

Rihanna knows how to entertain the audience, as she gives a wonderful performance in the video with Drake, she has an amazing unusual voice that suits the song, Drake also gives the song an extra reason to like it.

The music has a good beat as it has strong reggae, her voice is high pitched which somehow suits it, and with of course Drake rapping, it goes together very well.

What attracts some people to the music video is what rihannas actually wearing, everyone knows Rihanna is a fashion icon that loves cloths, she where’s a zebra cut wasted jacket, top, shorts and long knee high soaks, it might sound horrid but Rihanna knows how to pull anything off with them dance moves.

4.1 Yoshito Darmon

Today in Record we had a visitor called Yoshito Darmon, he was a production assistant and worked with cameras allot, he taught us about the aesthetic rules, lighting etc, these are the notes i made in the lesson.
3 Main Aesthetic Rules:

- The rule of thirds
where you divide the picture in 3 so it is more focused and better to concentrate on.

-The lead room
in the picture it looks as though the picture is moving a certain way eg. if there is a picture of a driving car, the picture is taken with space at the front of the car so it looks like the car is going that way.

-The headroom
make space on the top of head
eyes on the line
to show emotion- extreme close up

The white balance
the white balance is a setting on the camera
the main colours are blue, green and red, all three together makes white
light will effect the colour, use white as standard, put it infront of camera and set it.

Depth of field

smaller and greater depth of field

After we made these notes the teacher took us outside for 5 minutes to show us how to use the camera in white balance.

Record

We had a visitor called Lokmen Chekki come in today to talk about Film, he is a production assistant and works with cameras a lot. He has been working in the industry for 5 years now and has worked on the BBC as a cameraman; he has also made a few short movies for festivals.

He first talked about what cameras was like in the 1870s, about camera Obsura that was the first camera, and how it revolved to experimenting and then in 1898 they discovered the first moving pictures, a while after that the Lumiere Brothers were they first people to make money out of it, and there was the ‘birth of cinema’.

I made notes when he was talking to us:

Analogue: Mechanical

Digital: computerized: 0110110100…
