Lighting

In our piece we need to think about lighting very strongly. This is due to the type of message which we are portraying across to the audience.

We will make sure our trailer has a variety of different lighting. We will use the contrast of high level and low level lighting to show the mood in each scene. We need to make sure that each one of our shots use natural lighting as it gives the sense of real life which we are trying to portray in our piece.

In areas our piece is shot at night so the clip will only be lit by street light. This is twinned with a flashback which is also dark to show both the difference in time and to give the view that things change at night. This is another idea that our piece is based around.
We want to have the day time shots with high level lighting, this connotes innocence and trust. This is contrasting to the feelings commonly found in low level lighting which gives a sense of mystery and deceit.




During the interview scenes, we want the lighting to be high level. This will give the view of intelligence and the people being trustworthy, this contrasts with the low level lighting found in the drinking scenes. This contrast shows the difference between the social life and times of study with people in university.


Drinking Scene: During the drinking scene there will be dark lighting, this will signify that it is night to the audience. Also through using darkness we submit a feel of rebellion upon our audience.


Outside University Shot: For the shot outside of the university there will only be use of natural lighting. This will show the audience that this scene is happening during the day.

Sam waking up Scene: For this scene the use of natural lighting will be used to shine through the curtains that this character will have closed. This will signify to the audience that this character is lazy as the day time light is shining through the room and the character is still asleep.
