In this lightning design lab, I focused mainly on shadow and how it interacts with light, the video gives off a scary but warm feeling as lightning strikes outside what is supposedly a cabin. In the short video, my scene is draped with a white piece of cloth acting as a cyclorama, using flashlights as a source of light I used tape and colored sharpies to create a color gel for the light. A paper cut out of a human figure was used to cast a shadow onto the cyclorama when the flashlight was flickering. I also experienced using different lighting angles during the shoot especially when I wanted to achieve the lightning effect.
Before I knew much about lighting I never considered how the angles of which light is shining could affect the overall emotion of the scene, I used to think that lighting was always light coming from the top. But now that I had experience with lighting angles and set up my own small stage I feel like I’ve understood more about the process of lighting up a stage.
