Analysis Of Test Shots

I recorded these shos in a theatre space using theatre lighting. I experimented with using coloured lighting however white lighting looked the most effective as the footage was much clearer in white. These are the first shots which I filmed in the theatre however these shots were out of focus as the lighting was extremely dark so the camera continuously came out of focus. Although the shots were out of focus I could still gather from watching the video clips what lighting colours worked and what shots looked the most effective. This as a result meant that I knew specifically what shots I needed when I re-filmed which reduced the amount of time taken to film.

I originally planned to use coloured lighting to symbolise the different moods. For example the red lighting could suggest lust as the male character dances with the female artist. The blue lighting was to represent the artists isolation and coldness. These are all ideas which theoretically worked well but did not practically look effective.
