Test shots

We did some test shots to see what lights we would need and how we would set them out. We also tried different colour gels too look at different effects that where suitable for the look we want to go for. We did the test shots so that we can plan ahead what equipment we need, how we are going to set it out and to see if we are able to acheive the look that we want to go for.

 This is an image of the lights that we used set up and ready to be used.

 When useing Fresnel  lighting we had to use gloves when moving the barn doors and adding or taking down the gels. This is because the lights and barn doors get VERY hot.

We added different colour gels to see if we could create an old looking effect that wasn't too bold.

There was a few differnet colour gels that we liked that we thought could be used within our video. We liked this blue/green that we thougt that we would be able to use. We thought that this would work as it is a happy colour and could be used when the words 'do you remember the good old days before the ghost town' as this is referring to happy memories.

We also liked this orange look as it gives a sepia look which makes it look old.

We looked at different camera angles and lighting angles to get the best look and the look that we ae going for. 

This effect can be used within our music video if the camera is going to be moving or at the first time you see a doll. 

We tried creating a very harsh shadow using very harsh lighting. We half got the effect that we wanted but the lighting within the room was too bright although the blinds where down. We needed less light and to change the aperture and ISO to create a more dark look.

We experimented with different angles with the camera and moving the light around. We also changed the ISO which gave us a more dark effect/look creating a harsh shadow which is what we want to go for.
