Film and Theatre Lighting

In Film and Theatre they use equipment such as Par Cans, Light Panels and on-light cameras. Par Cans are used to use a multitude of different colours which make the atmosphere appear less natural and has a range of artificial light which makes its look quite disco. This is not the effect we want for our Film Noir and want to use more warm tons such as oranges, therefore will not be using it.

Light Panels makes the room look a lot lighter and focuses on a subject or an area in the space wherever it is placed. It produces too much light which kills the suspense we were aiming to create and so won't be using these either unless it is outside of the room and we do what to show bright lighting.
