- During our scene in which we film our mob leader sitting in his office we will be using low key lighting to create a sinister effect to show that this character is not to be trusted. This should create a tense mood in the audience.
- We will also use underlighting in this sequence, this will disfigure the mob leaders body making him shady and a threat.
- We will be using portable lights for this part of our opening.
By Becky (photography), Alex (the subject) and Nathan (Lighting operator). We have tested different lighting techniques. This is what we found:
 |
| Backlit Lighting makes him look slightly angelic, which wouldn't be appropriate for our thriller. |
 |
| Side lighting. This is a possibility because it shows a dual personality. |
 |
| Under lighting. We are most probably going to use this because it disfigures the face making Alex look sinister. |
- For this exercise we only used 1 portable light but for the main practical we hope to use a couple of lights.
- Because the camera we used was on our phone we were unable to get the framing exactly as we would of liked.
Here is an opportunity to get a camera and a light and illustrate what you mean by these terms - why not show a silhouette of nathan and a shot of him using an under light and discuss how they feel.
ReplyDeletehow many lights did you use?
ReplyDeleteFraming - you still have a tendency to not consider what you are shooting - if it is the subject yuou want to show, then you need to move in much closer.
