LIghting experimentation

 

Initially I went to the woods at 3pm as it would be getting dark enough to experiment with the lighting but still light enough for the camera to pick up the images. I had some problems because the weather was overcast which meant that it was a lot brighter and the clouds got in the way of the darkness.

 I then decided to wait until it was properly dark to do the photos as you would not see the effects of the lighting. I wanted to do a strobe effect bit we did not have the right torch which had the stone light setting on it. Instead I used a range of torches which had different  settings on them and used them at various angle for a wide range of effects. In this image I used a large led light which gave a wash of light without being too precise around the edges.

 This was the same torch but at a lower angle.

This torch could either be a very powerful spotlight or can do a good wide illumination but it does have very precise edges which could be a drawback.

 This torch is a lot less powerful than the others and so it only slightly lights up the area which could be good for our film as you can still see the shadows. It can also

This is when it is at it's smallest setting but still has murky edges which is good.
