Redhead- The redhead lighting is the main light, which can

be used if you want to put the main focus on a certain

subject.

Lighting Dolly- used for tracking

Lilliput- is a smaller light, which is usually used add

lighting to a scene and take away the focus of a subject.

The equipment we used was provided by the Harrow Weald College. I felt that the

equipment was very useful in producing or media production and they were very

professional, which enabled us to do as much as we desired for the thriller. We used a dolly,

which we used to a great extent to track in and out of shots, to show different angles from

the camera. One of the most important devices was the sound microphone, as it was

essential that the dialogue being said in the first 2 minutes could be heard clearly and that

nothing distorted the sound, so that the audience know what emotions the protagonists are

feeling in the scene. Lighting was also very essential in making our production, as it was

filmed in a dark hall, so we had to create our own light, with the redhead and the Lilliput.

We attached red bits of see-through paper, to create a contrast of different colours upon

our subject, which gave it a grim atmosphere and made it seem like a torture scene.

Editing was also a very important part of our experience and development of skills in making

a short film. We used final cut pro, which is probably one of the best programmes to use for

an amateur film maker and it was fairly simple enough to use as well. We learnt to add

different bits of sound, to create more drama in our scenes and we gave our production

certain effects, by experimenting with all the different features that the programme had to

offer.
