First of all I got someone to put on the hoodie after that I positioned them so that only the outline of the face could seen to create more of an effect so that it was just a hoodie and an outline of the face. I then used low lighting to ensure that the outline of the face stood out in the low lighting making it more creepy as the face is never shown.
This is the outcome of my practical task experimenting with lighting and creating a shadow:
These two pictures above are showing a shadow created by the low lighting and it is shadow of the outline of the face and someone wearing a hoodie.
These two pictures above are showing someone wearing a hoodie and no face being shown at all in this shot. This shot would be used in a long shot from behind in our opening scene to show the killer with the hoodie on from behind with low lighting to make it more scary.
These two photos above are showing more of the outline of the face and more of the face is shown but the lighting is still low enough for the person to still be unrecognisable which is effective in a slasher because it doesn't give anything away. This was done by pulling the hoodie that the person was wearing further back so more features were shown and more of the face was shown but the lighting was kept low enough so the person is still unrecognisable.
The things that I think went well with this practical task is that the shadow is very effective because I made sure that the lighting was low enough and that the hood was pulled back just enough to show the outline of the face to make it more creepy. However for the real thing to improve I would make sure that there is nothing else that is going to cause a shadow within the filming and that it is only the shadow of the persons facial outline that can be seen.
