Above there are two diagrams showing a birds eye view on how we are planning to light the two scenes in our three minute drama.
The first diagram shows the scene where the twins are sitting on their matress, there will be one industrial light to their right giving some hard light across and on the right side of their faces. There will also be a projector directly infront pointing towards them lighting all up both of the twins, and there is also a few ceiling above them towards their left giving soft light to the left side of their bodies. You can also see the canon xl1 at the bottom of the top diagram in the middle, that shows all you will see when looking through the viewfinder. The light is drawn with red pen displaying which area it is going to affect in that scene.
The second diagram shows another scene where one of the twins is sitting on the matress in a tucked sitting position with the words of his distraught mum running through his head "your tearing this family apart". Again drawn in red pen to display which area the light is going to affect, there will be one light score from his right side gently covering over his eye area. There will be another light source from his right shining over the top of his chest and the top of his left arm, while a third shall be lower than the other two shining across his elbows and the top half of his legs.

Hard light has been chose as it's more emotionaly tough, which is perfect for this part of the drama. Natural, soft light will be used for the latter part when Owen is kicking on with his life to get a job, making the scene easier to look at. You could say that we are only using 2 of the 3 Point Lighting Rule. We plan to use key and fill light, but don't want to seperate/cut out the twins' from their impovirished-looking background.
