Lighting research

For our film trailer, front cover of a magazine and film poster lighting will be very important for the group as it will make our product stand out from others. For example when creating my film poster I want to make sure that the audience can make out what each of the images are. I have done some research into the lighting the school have as then we can use this equipment for my final products. A piece of equipment that my group can use is a reflector. The reflector is used to reflect light onto another surface in this case to bounce the light onto my actor lighting up there face. Reflectors are made out of different materials these include foam or nylon. Smooth surfaces will provide us with a more softer light. A light source are normally used to create a shadow effect.

If we don't use lighting equipment for our trailer, etc. we will probably just use natural light as it will be more realistic than constantly having a film light reflecting onto their faces. It would also be hard to always have  the lighting as we would have to have a power sorce. It also depends on the availability of the lights as some of people could be using them for their filming or a different subject could be.
