Shot from film

We like this shot from our horror film because of the strong composition and shot type. It will have a big impact on the audience because of the reflection in the mirror of the victims face, showing panic and fear. It is good framing and works extremely well.

LIGHTING DESIGN SHEET

Here was have used '3 Point lighting' to make the shot and the the object more natural. Also with the backlight it makes the object stand out from the background, to make this more effective.  I think that out of the attempts with the lights we had this was the most clear and successful for when we film. As it makes the complexion extremely clear and the shadowing a varied making the object look more (as said above) natural.  
Here we only used one stand light because we wanted to see with doing a  short 'horror film' how the use of shadowing would create tension and what effect it will have on the character, as you can see their dark personality and characteristics. We think that this works well as it could create a two sided create which is twisted and makes the audience want to develop their understanding of the threat and know more. 

The final photo we used to standing lights without a back light to see what this effect created. We placed one standing light closer to the object which would create a bright light and reflect the object and then using the other light further behind on the other side and turned to face the wall as it levelled out the brightness a bit more to make sure that the object was clear.
