Directions Unit: Lighting









When I was making my film it was a self conscious effort to make sure that the lighting for the interior scenes had a red tint, when I had a session learning about lighting I realised that I could go even further with this idea. I decided to set it up so that the bedroom scenes could have red lighting throughout. It bodes well with the idea of David (Played by Chris Sarmiento) having turned completely delusional due to his drug abuse. The redness represents the theme of anger as well as the idea of David losing his mind. 



For the exterior scenes I really like the idea of having a huge contrast between the outdoor and indoor scenes. This is why I changed from using a Sony EXCAM for the interior scenes to a Canon DSLR. Another major reason for the change is that the latter camera is said to have really a good colour filter and I want the colours to pop in the outdoor scenes. I feel I have been able to succeed in creating a nice contrast between the interior and exterior shots.
