I took some photos to experiment with lighting to see what lighting would work best on posters and in my short film. The first three I have edited on Photoshop. I think this makes them look really effective but I can only do this with images and not films.

For the top right photo I have made the figures darker and put a brighter light in the background. I also used a pink filter to make it look romantic as pink signifies romance.

For the top right photo I used two photos to get a different shadow to the actual person so it looks as if the shadow is going to grab her.

The photo on the left looks elegant and I have took away the background and made it fade into the image so I looks as if she is an angel with a bright light around her from heaven. I think this works really well.

The following photos are the original photos I took with the digital camera. I used filters to set different moods and postioned the light in different places to create different shadows.


The image below I think looks very effective because the red light gives it a scary bloody effect. Whilst the black surrounding them makes them look like their in darkness.
