Lighting effects experimentation

 This shot creates quite a sinister effect as the subject is staring into the camera and the light is shining from the side onto the subjects face as half dark and half light.

 This is probably the most sinister looking shot we took whilst experimenting with lighting , in this particular shot we didn't actually use a large amount of light, but just enough to make the subjects face visible. This is what makes the picture scary because we can only see parts of the face which leaves a sense of mystery.

This gives the same effect but perhaps not quite as scary as we used a larger amount of light which makes the subject more visible making the viewer more comfortable.

 This was again the same shot but with an even smaller amount of light , I personally don't think this shot is very effective.

 This shot was slightly different as we used a natural light source to create the effect, Personally I think the blue tint to the natural light gives a sense of gloom and negativity.

This shot is similar to the shot of me earlier with the light below my face , in this shot Sam has the light above him with his head tilted forwards slightly to create a shadow on his face which again gives a sinister effect.

This lighting effect shows the whole subject and the shot being 90 degrees to the subject creates a sense that the subject is under pressure .
