Lighting...

The "Lighting" task I believe was not the best that we could have done, maybe because it was our first video and we needed time to adjust. The main purpose of this task is obviously lighting; how we use lighting to create a certain atmosphere. At the beginning of the video the lights were on, this was done to point our who are the main characters and to show where the setting is being held. After me (Student) and Abdul (Student) have walked into the room we turned off the lights in the passage, this conveys that where me and Abdul have entered it is a scary place. Hence forth when we entered the room the place was dark. After that we recorded Abdul's and my facial expression while taking the test. At this point we shone a light on each of our face's, this was done to show the how the students are feeling and making them the centre of attention. Although not a huge amount of lighting was used we learnt that lighting is not always required in a video.

We could have made this video better if there was more drama. I felt that the video lacked the "wow" factor and I feel it will not grab the audiences attention. There should have been more talking between the characters or maybe a 3rd character. Also we did not use music which always makes any video less exciting, in my opinion.
