One of the greats in horror directors, Jacques Tourneur was recognised most for the way he created shadows, among his pieces...
Jacques made films such as "curse of the demon" and "The Fearmakers" which were all extremely recognisable in their day, and most essential to watch when dealing with a task of creating shadows.
Our piece, has a perticular short seuqence with a boy in a small abadoned shed, that will be hard to light - therefore the creation of the right shadow on his face and also around him are essential to create - as poor lighting results in poor marks, however if we can take on the restrictions we have and turn it into a positive - using the poor light to create great shadows..then it can get us marks..:)
As i researched the director, i also have noticed that he was very good at creating moods and atmospheres - ( i shall upload some pictures of shadow effects ) ...the atmosphere in our piece is very important, so hopefully we will be able to get our hands on some films of his..or watch them online...i will keep posted :)
