Cinematography - Foyer

For the foyer, I decided to create a film noir look and feel, although I feel it didn't entirely work out since I didn't have a bright enough light to compete against the three 500 W downstairs. I felt that it would suit the scene better, as there was a death involved in this scene -- Rosemary's dead body. For this I made a cookie with black card stock paper, and put it in front of a single coil tungsten. For this I bought a 200 W single coil tungsten and rigged up a light bulb holder using a 20' extension cable and a light socket. For the shoots, since we could not place light stands on the stairs, I got either Cassie or Jacob to become a human light stand and hold the light + cookie in place.
