casting shadows

OK so this week we have feedback from our tutors and I'm expecting a serious boot up the arse and a bit of a bollocking but i wouldn't be the only one I'd say so non whinging and more work is the call of the day. I was messing around with a few more cutouts of limerick on card to keep producing more in the series of boxes (which I've been told to do a hundred times and i keep going off on tangents) and i just started playing around with throwing light on front of the image rather than from behind or within the box itself. What i found by doing that is a real depth and that spooky image of a shadow which always used give me a chill as a kid, like a mental picture of a forrest in a ghost story or something, and by casting two separate light sources in different directions and so forth instead of adding an extra dimension to the photo it added an extra dimension to the shadow itself which i thought was pretty cool and i think it is something that can only add more atmosphere to my project. So this week the plan is to mess around with lighting, coloured light and possibly sound to see if i can really emphasise the atmosphere and that uneasiness I'm trying to get across.
