Scene Four - Part 2

The lighting is this scene would play a big part in creating the atmosphere that I wanted. There would be 4 lights which would make up the gloomy feel to the woods.

My original idea was to have Death rising from the ground behind the Old man but I thought it would be quite nice if he appeared suddenly when the lightning struck. One second he wasn't there the next he was kind of thing. But this was proving hard to to because the scene had to be virtually pitch black for this to work. This wasn't viable because I wanted the Old man's face to be clear because he was going to talk. So after a few experiments I decided to revert back to my original idea.

The four lights included were: An Omni light for the lamp which made the characters show up better. A Target Directional light which made the Old mans face brighter so that you could see the lip syncing better. A Omni light in the sky that acted as the moon light to brighter the scene up slightly and an Omni light also in the sky which comes on and off very brightly when the thunder sound is heard.

The Scene was complete with the introduction of the logs, lamp, scythe and the rain.
