Today we had some lighting and smoke tests in the studio in preparation for our upcoming shoot. The shoot is to take place in the studio with an outside actor. We decided this exercise would be very useful as it would prepare us for the day of the shoot. We tested the lighting we were going to use with specific gels and we also experimented with others to see what effect we could achieve. In the end we settled for all red, a gel which was to be placed on the lighting rig above the character. This created a very sinister and deviant atmosphere, one which we aimed to create. We also used this test shoot to figure out how we were going to dress the set and then frame our character depending on that. From the images below you can see how we used the tv as a prop to work out the distance of the character to the tv. This way we were able to position the camera between the desk and the chair to get some low angle shots and close ups of the character. We also practiced using the smoke machine to discover the effect it would have. Below are some images of the smoke and lighting test.
