P.1 matte painting

A matte painting is a painted presentation of a landscape, set or distant location that allows filmakers to create illusion of an environment that is nonexistent in real life or would otherwise be too expensive or impossible to build or visit.
At its best, depending on the skil levels of the artists and the tehnician, the effct is 'seamless' and creates environments that would otherwise be impossible to film.

Traditionally, matte paintings were made by artist using paints or pastels on large sheets of glass integrating with the live-action footage.
By the mid-1980's, advancements in computer graphics programs alowed matte painters to work in the digital realm.
throughout the 1990's, traditional matte paintings were still in use, but more often in conjuction with digital compositing. die hard 2: die harder 1990

By the end of the decade, the time of hamd-paimted matte paintings use drawing to a close, although as late as 1997 same traditional paintings were still being made.
Paint has now been superseded by digital images created using photo references, 3-D models, and drawing tablets.

Matte painters combine their digitally matte painted textures within comouter-generated 3-D environments, allowing for 3-D camera movement.

Lighting algorithms used to simulate lighting sources expanded im scope in 1995.

P.1 Contingency Plan

Creating props for project
- Find poster online and add additional information that you want on there

Students may be talking when we want to film
- Ask to be quiet when filming or take them out of room when filming

Effects
- Learn them, find tutorials online or ask for help

Major Disasters
Actors may not be reliable as group members dont know what their like
- Get to know them Trust work mates friends

Laptops being used by other class when you need to use them
- Ask to use it or use other group members laptop

People including me in our group may only want to film when they have to be in collage and want to go home on their frees
- Put your hammer down as it will be better to get it all done then none of it

One actor isnt available every thursday
- Dont film on thursdays or get another actor

Actors not being available at the same time that we want to film
- Find out when they are available to film and sort it out from that or change actors

If we do film in frees, other class my be using the camera so we wont be able to film
- Find out with them when they are filming or borrow another camera
