Lighting

Here is an example of natural lighting from a street light above my actor and the lighter in his hand. I chose to use this preliminary shot as a practise to see how natural lighting can enable an eerie and darker mood upon the shot.

Here is an example of lighting from a lighting rig set-up, I used two rather powerful bulbs upon a 5ft stand one placed either side of the shot here. I decided to use a lighting rig for this shot as it allowed a really dark room (only one window to the right of the bed and only one lamp in the left hand corner behind myself as i took this shot) to look as if it was midday and full of light allowing the audience to see clearly that this is a male environment and is not in the best kept state, the brightness of the room also allows for the clear contrast between the colourful vibe and 'awake-ness' of the room to clash with the all black of sam and his apparent sleepy state.

Here is a semi-natural lighting shot, where there are two small build in spotlights in the ceiling of this bathroom yet there is also a small skylight window to the left of the shot which allowed some more natural 'dusky' light to enter the room.

Here I have used the lighting rig to illuminate the entire bathroom in this scene, I personally feel like this worked  well as the room has completely white walls which acted as four mirrors for the light to bounce off of and to illuminate areas which would normally be shadowed. Here in this shot you can also see the skylight I mentioned previously.
