Lighting Testing

We have experimented with different styles of lighting that we could use in our opening clip. I have taken a number of pictures of a saw from the same angle, positioned where the opening will be be set. I have use different lighting angles and colour filters to produce the effect we want. We want a blue, dull light to portray an atmosphere of stress that the murderer will cause the victims and the mental and spiritual nightmares they are faced with.

I used three different bulbs, each with different shades of blues and different angles to create different effects. As we could not easily get any light filters or gels in the desired colours, I used spray paint and coloured in the various bulbs. I also used cut outs of blue shopping bags to create the blue effect.
