More Research Into Lighting

After our initial test shooting one problem that we encountered was the lighting. The shadows created by the table reflected onto the walls to create unnatural shots. Also when Adrian came into the scene to film close ups his shadow was always getting in the way. After discussing and researching the problem we found a solution. Three point lighting. The diagram on the left shows the positioning of each light

Another aspect of lighting that we were not happy with was the atmosphere created. All our shots were flooded with bright, saturated, white light that doesn't create the dark, mysterious aura that we wanted to capture. Theses two (1) (2) YouTube videos provided a load of tips, tricks and advice when it comes to lighting within a scene. The colours looked to playplay a big part in creating the dramatic atmosphere that we are looking for

Research in progress

Soft boxes would be perfect to disperse the light however at they cost of £50+ its not worth the money. A £5 shower curtain has been said to work basically the same way.
