LIGHTING
When working with cameras, lighting is incredibly important. You can change the tone of the image depending on the type of lighting used, and how you use it.
The two types of lighting in photography are,
Available light, which are naturally occurring light sources, like the sun or moon.
Artificial light, which are light sources that are created for the purpose of the photo, like torches and lamps.
Proposal
For my documentary I want to delve into the world of bodybuilding and gym culture. I want to mention key body building figures overs the years like Zyzz, who tragically died of a heart attack, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Larry Wheels, Ronnie Coleman and other influential figures in the industry.
A key point I want to preset is the effects of steroids and how normalised they are in the competitive industry.
In competitive bodybuilding championships, using additive steroids like Trenbolone and Testosterone, which occurs naturally in your body but are taken in excess to stimulate rapid muscle growth.
Many bodybuilders over the years have taken anabolic steroids as crutch so their body can keep up them.
Many competition outlaw the use of anabolic steroids however are aware of performers using steroids and do no directly stop
them from competing when on artificial enhancers.
Pumping Iron is a documentary directed by George Butler and Robert Fiore - it is seen as bodybuilding during its 'Golden Days', featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno competing for the Mr Olympia body building title. Arnold Schwarzenegger before his career as an actor, was one of the most prolific bodybuilders of his time, being an inspiration to many even to present day,
