Lighting decisions
We want our piece to be quite dramatic and the lighting should represent this. We will be using two hand held lights on tripods with gels. These lights operate off of batteries as we will be outside with no mains power. There are only two locations and both are very dark. The first is on top of a cliff with a young girl about to jump off the edge. She will be rim lit in a blue this shows sorrow but still keeps it dark. It also represents cold that she feels standing up there alone. The use of rim lighting keeps a lot of her hidden and fortifies the shadows on her face increasing the loneliness.
The scene then changes to a man digging a grave. He will be on a hill and back lit. this will show him as a silhouette. This is restricted narration and is an enigma. It makes the audience ask “who is that man?” We will use either blue or green gels with a diffuser on the lighting to make it appear natural and cold.
