Lighting

In certain scenes of my film I have used lighting to highlight specific areas that I want the audience to see. Examples of this are in the scene where I (as Lottie) am sewing and writing.

For these scenes I used a lamp in a darker setting to light up the areas I wanted the audience specifically to see; mainly where my hands would go. Shadow also illuminates these areas and draws attention to my hands.

I also used natural lighting in a lot of scenes. This is because my film is designed to show natural life, so having natural lighting highlights the fact that my film is designed to look 'real' and not too staged. When filming with natural lighting I made sure to do it in a position and time of day so that it wouldn't be too dark or bright and ruin the effect of the scene.
