Lighting

The lighting for are project was something that we found very important in terms of telling are story we wanted pathetic fallacy; the weather was something we identified as something we could use to create the moods we wanted.

At the start of the film we wanted the weather to be clear no clouds as this will show the clearness of the characters mind no worries the ease that he is feeling about his life. The sun should be out as it would show the happy upbeat mood that the character finds him, this could be translated to the audience. We wanted the lighting to be bright and the character to be clear to the audience and for the sun rays to hit the character as he walks to work.

Then to the end of the play we wanted the weather to change become gray and darker and light to become greyer and more miserable to represents the change in the characters mood, he has become more consumed in his problems unlike before. This would have been good for the audience as it shows them the contrast between the two halves of the film.

However when it came to filming we suffered from the fact that time and the weather was against use, when it came to filming the opening scene it was during winter so days when it was clear and sunny was rare and it became impossible to get the clear opening scene that we wanted. Even though this was the case we managed to get that weather for the last scene of the film which is good enough as that is the point of the film were we really needed that scenes of pathetic fallacy but there just would be no contrast between the two halves of the film. During the office scenes when he is indoors we used the lights that we had available such as the office lights we wanted that feel of the working environment there being light but not too much.
