COLOR -THE BEGINING

JAMES ClERK MAXWELL- in 1861 photographing a scene  on three BLACK & WHITE film plates, using RED, GREEN, BLUEfilters respectively. He then made positive transparencies from negatives and illuminated them seperately in three lantern slide projectors, each fitted with either a  RED, a GREEN or a BLUE filter so that the projected images is superimposed on the viewing screen.

The combined images reproduced original color. This process is called ''ADDITIVE COLOR MIXING''.

APERATURE- STORY OF ''STOPS''.

Originally aperature was varied by the insertion of metal plates..called "stops"because they stopped a portion of the light from passing through the lens, with centered holes in front of lens. As  manufacturing technique developed these stops were replaced by ''DIAPHRAGAM'' OR IRIS  built into the barrel of the lens.

How ever we continue to use old terminology ''stopping down the lens''.

Dear Rajkumar,these are my feedback



1. Light- After many years, i had the True feel of ambient Light in this movie. Especially the shot when 3 boys walk into that village during mid night.
The reddish feel of north karnataka is 100 % perfect. As i have photographed koppal, hubli, hampi areas for my stories, i could really feel it. SO U HAVE SUCCEEDED AS A CINEMATOGRAPHER IN BRINGING TRUE MOOD THAT MATCH THE GIVEN SCRIPT.Only after watching the movie i hear from u that u have improvised ur own light. so GREAT!!!!!!!
(Also the best thing is that u have avoided Filters

2. Second best thing is ur effective way of controlling the vacant space. Especially those shot inside the rooms of that ashram. (controlling space filled with visual elements is comparatively easy)

3.The contrasting mood (ashram ambience and rustic north karnataka) goes well- the same thing was well handled in AIYSHA. (2 moods-bright and dull).
