Lighting

We decided to start playing around with the lighting that we will have in the rooms that we will film in. One of the rooms will be used for when the woman character is printing the pictures of her victim, with the walls full of pictures of previous victims. Because of what this room is going to be used for we thought it would be a good idea of having quite a dark red lighting. We done this by getting a sheet of red transparent piece of paper and a lamp.

We tried this out by putting the red piece of paper over the lamp, this was our first attempt:




Although, from holding it quite close to the ceiling it meant that the room went very red like this. However, we thought that it would have a greater effect and would look better if we didnt have the room as red and more a faint dark red instead. We mananged to get this effect in the second attempt we did, this is how it looked:





This is the effect we wanted for this room as it makes it look like a printing room for pictures, but also quite dark. Therefore I feel when the pictures are up on the wall and we have the props we want in there, i think it could look quite sinister which is the effect we are trying to get. I think from trying out lighting it has helped to imagine more exactly what we want it to look like which will help us more when comning to film.
