Use gloves to move barn doors on lights because they gets very hot.
When gelling a light put the barn doors forward to reduce risk of the gel catching light.
Always turn light off before moving it as the light bulb could blow if left on.
When a light is on a high stand weigh the light sands down to stable them.
Here are a few pictures of the lights we used and different ways that we used them.To give the light a orangy colour which gave the room a warmer feel, we clipped a orange gel to the barn doors of the light, and to give a felling of day time feel to the room we clipped on a blue gel to the light. If the lights where to bright we would put a black coloured gel over it which would fade the light. Also to make the whole room look lighter we shone the light at the celling and the light would bounce off the surface and give light to the room.
Here are some pictures of the living room
For the living room we put a light above where the gas lamp was and put a orange gel over the light to give the room a warm feeling as a gas lamp would have given a slightly orange glow. We also had a light with a orange gel shining at the fire place to make it look like warmth is coming from there. To make the whole room have a lighter feeling we shone a light at the celling so that the light bounced off and lit up the room slightly. We also had a light with a orange gel shining from behind the curtain to make it look like light was coming in from the outside like a sunset. This worked well to make the whole room have a nice warm feeling like a family home. In Gregors room we shone a light with a blue gel on it trough to the lounge, we then held the bed room doors open slightly and used the fogg machine to make smoke look like it was coming out from his room. We did this to make the doors look creepy like there was something terrifying behind them.
Here are some pictures of Gregors room
For Gregors room we had light coming in trough the window with a blue gel on it as we fought the main light source for Gregors room would be trough the window. I think this looked good in the photos as the room was dark and creepy looking with just a little light. We used the fog machine to give the room a really creepy look to it. In order for the fog to show up we put more light in the room, we used little lights attached to the desk and chair and bigger lights, one trough the window and one from the door way. The room looked similar to the house in pet cemetery with the moldy walls, wonky furniture and smoke.
These are just photos which I took on my camera but we also did some video recording of the rooms so that we could choose some shots which we liked. We also used a video recorder so that we could get the quality we would get if it was being filmed on a film set.
Trough this project it was hard working in such a big group because you had to rely on other people. There were a few things I think should have been done differently in Gregors room which didn't quite match up with the story such as the big scratches on the doors which look like wear wolf scratches, Gregor was a beetle so he wouldn't of made those types of marks on the doors and the walls where a bit over done I think. But the room did look really good in the photos and video shots, especially the walls so it all looked good together after all.I fought all the furniture and the layout of Gregors room looked really good and also how the room narrows at one end, made the room seem claustrophobic which is the look we where going for so that worked really well to. Also in the living room the wall paper seemed a bit to modern and I'm not sure that they would have that particular flower print on there walls at that time but I do like the subtle hints of terror in this room, you can tell by walking into the room that something just isn't quite right. Overall I think we have done a good job and I have learnt a lot. Altho we have had ups and downs trying to work as a group and to get everything done on time I am pleased with how our sets have turned out.
