Shadows
After drawing basic perspective drawings, I realised that shadows played an important role within a background set for a scene. For example, if the scene was set at night time then the spotlight would need to come from what looked like the moon. To do this you would need to change the colours of the background to make it look darker; but would also need to cast shadows on certain objects to create the realistic light coming from the moon. This came to mind when exploring colour scripts. As I came across the Pixar film, 'UP'. On the Pixar website it has images of the same background however, at different times of the day. I was able to put this into my visual journal and explore the use of shadows on objects when the light hits in different directions. I got these directions from the book: 'Studo Binder: ‘How to Use Color in Film-50 Examples of Movie Color Palettes’ (Accessed 20th December 2018).'
