Light Observation 2: The living room
Like my bedroom, the overhead light is off and the only lights that are on is the table lamp beside the TV and next to the fireplace, which is still softly burning. It is not a big fire anymore, It is mostly just a dim orange glow next to the dominant soft yellow light of the lamp beside it. The windows have the shades drawn closed, so that no light from outside is let in, even if there were any. It is pretty dark with most of the furniture hardly visible, especially where I am sitting on the opposite side of the room.

Light observation 1: My bedroom
There isn't much light in my bedroom, especially since I only have one window. I have blinds and a tapestry mostly covering that window, so light only comes in from the bottom half, with the blinds cutting into the light with thin black shadow. My overhead light is dull so I usually have my floor lamp on instead, with 5 light bulbs that you can adjust. It gives a nice soft, warm glow to the room, coming from the corner it's placed in. It casts long shadows on everything else in the room. I also like to have candles burning, which gives the room the most interesting lighting, because it is always moving, flickering and changing. It's amazing how much light a tiny candle can actually give off. It provides a soft orb of light around it, illuminating about a couple feet around. Essentially, everything in my room is visible, except for at the farthest corners where too many shadows are congregating.

About myself
A little bit about myself:
Name: Melanie Crete
Age: 21
Born and raised in the granite state aka New Hampshire, I've only lived down here in Wilmington for about 7 months now. I am a transfer student from the University of New Hampshire where I studied Art History and French and I'm technically a first semester junior here. I live off-campus with my older sister and her now fiancé who are due to be wed this October and their adorable pit bull, Zoe. I currently work two part-time jobs while enrolled as a full-time student at Rue21 and Port City Java in Porter's Neck. Thus said, I keep pretty busy but love to spend my free time watching movies.
I really don't have a sense of what I would like to do with a major in Film and a minor and French but i'm hoping to narrow down my focus after taking more classes and learning more about the industry. I am planning to study abroad next spring in Cannes, France if all things work out. I was fortunate enough to go on a high school trip to France and Spain my senior year of high school and I am determined to go back (background picture was taken on said trip).
I'm excited to get some hands-on experience in this class and learn more about the filmmaking process, as well as working with other film studies majors! :)
