This lesson was very memorable. For our inspiration we have watched the famous curtain scene from Hitchcocks 1960 "Psycho" movie. Back then, many filmakers could create a very terrifying scene by using only lights and shadows. Nowadays many of these effects are replaced with special effects and cheap tricks, that are too fake to be scary.
During the lesson we could make a good use of some of the provided tools for us. Studio lightning with flash units, were one of the main tools. But this time, I have been also introduced to colour gel filters and a plastic screen.
We asked the model to stand in front of a reflector or plastic screen. Behind the model we set a backlight, which we then covered with one of the colouristic gel filters. Depending on how far the model stood, we could make the shadow apear more or less darker. In some cases we covered the model with a transparent material. See the final outcome of the project below:
