Character Through Lighting Notes

When meeting in our group, we first talked about focusing on a mental or emotional state of the character. Focusing on the character's details, we decided to focus on a character that is dealing with an immediate family death: specifically a widow who's lost her husband.

We worked with the appropriate time of day and location next. Twilight seems the best for the emotional elements, and we discussed a few locations, such as hallway to convey the empty path, an empty bedroom, a cemetery, or the top or bottom of a stairway.

We didn't want to have too many props and to remain focused on the lighting, so we decided a small room/bedroom would work the best with the twilight aspect coming in through the window.

A friend has agreed to the part, but the time is still being set. I thought that a house my mom owns on Patterson Street would be good for the scene since there isn't much furniture, yet there's enough to create a scene.
