First Equipment Test

 The first equipment test involved looking into using new equipment but included mostly looking at different lighting techniques that we could play around with and use later on the production. I set up lighting to try and silhouette a figure, looking at how far a person could move in and out of the shadow before it looses effect, this could possibly be used for the killer at some point during production but it isn't an easy effect to produce if the subject of the shot is moving so it will most likely be used in something static. We also looked into how well lit we could make something look only using the small LED's, although it looked well lit enough for close up shots in which the background is almost pitch black, to use it for wider shot such as the car scene Hook Man would be very difficult so we will have to source other larger portable lights or a generator.
During this test we also looked at using coloured lights or gels to create an atmosphere. For our purposes we found blues for a more cool or cold tone and reds to show danger or panic. These could be applied in a variety of places in the shorts which we will look at further into production.
