CDM 347
Lighting

Lighting Scenario

In this workshop we were tasked with lighting ourselves in different scenarios. The scenarios we were given were:
Sitting at a campfire, getting arrested by the police, sitting at a moonlit lake and caught in a thunderstorm.

Campfire

In this scenario we recreated lighting for sitting at a campfire. 
The main colours that we used in this scene were from red. orange and yellow LED lights that sat on the laps of the subjects. To create this campfire colour we used a preset
We realised that only using orange, red and yellow lighting would be overpowering and wouldn't add much depth to the subjects. We added a moonlight stye lighting behind the subjects to add some depth to the scene and so their heads wouldn't blend in with the black backdrop.
To create the flickering effect of the campfire we collected some branches with leaves on and shook them over the warm lights below their faces.
