Lighting and shot angles.

Before we started filming anything we had to experiment with things such as lighting and what angles we was going to film from. Below this post are some images we took of the different shots and angles. In these images you can see the window behind Todd and the light from outside coming in. This was an issue we faced as we didn’t like the look of the sun light shining in the room. This affected the mood we wanted to try and create as it made the scene look too open and bright which made it seem almost happy and a positive environment when we wanted it to be slightly dark and mysterious to emphasise the sadness and loss that has occurred. So we decided to wait until it got darker outside so the lamps and candles we chose to use had a greater affect on the lighting of the room instead of being disturbed by the sunlight outside. We had to make a decision between the lamps we used depending on the look of them and the lighting they created as to what suited our title sequence best. Although the look of the red lamp I personally think suited the atmosphere better (because red connotations are love etc) we decided to use both because together they created the best lighting for our shots.
