Production Entry 1

On Monday 08/12/2014 I decided to do a lighting practice to see whether it was possible to use the tungsten lights and have my actress still wearing glasses, We found out that it is possible with using different angles of the tungsten lights.
This practice is not only going to help me when I am filming the real scene later on. Although I did not have my actress to practice on, I used my class mate who is of a similar height to my actress. However looking very closely at the lighting in the glasses and the eyes, I found that the light reflects in the eyes, although this is not bad positioning of the lighting itself, as if you were outside and the sun was at the highest point of the day then you would still be able to see the sun in their eyes. Below there are three examples of the use of lighting, 1. only one light used glasses on, 2. both lights used glasses on, 3. glasses off both lights used. This gives you the example of the different types of lighting glare and reflection.

As you can see the light will always make a glare in the eyes, this is shown in a number of Digipak and Music videos by the stars. There is an example below of a digipak front cover that shows a light in the eyes.

This has helped me understand more about tungsten lights and how in some cases it is due to bad positioning and some cases it is due to natural occurrences.
