Task 1-Tim. Research for in camera techniques

Vaseline effect
This effect is where you can place a clear filter onto your camera lens and smear vaseline on the filter to create a 'dreamy' effect. This effect is used in weddings to make the pictures appear romantic. While looking through the cameras viewfinder, move the jelly around. To get the traditional 'dreamy' effect, put the jelly around the edges of the filter.

Tights - soft focus.

To create this, take a pair of tights and stretch them over the lens. Then take a rubber band and make sure it is secure. You can choose different coloured tights to make the model darker/lighter. 

Flare Artifacts
Flare can be used for striking special effects. To create this, shoot towards a strong light source. You can include the flare producing light source as a compositional element in the shot, or compose with the light source out of frame.

Bokeh

 is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image. Sometimes bokeh is misleadingly defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light" since it is the characteristic of theimage, not the lens itself. However, differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting—"good" and "bad" bokeh, respectively. Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions.
