Throughout the session we tried many different things in order to create a variety of different effects, such as using different coloured filters in front of torches and lasers, in order to draw shapes in multiple different colours. We also tried unusual things like igniting lighters in front of the camera lens to create weird effects and drawing shapes onto people using the laser, we also tried swinging the torches with strings around our bodies to create outlines and shapes. Although we did experiment quite a lot with different items and filters the results were sometimes less than satisfactory, we perhaps weren't brave enough to try more outlandish techniques for drawing in light and the pictures turned out quite limited. Even so the session was thoroughly enjoyable as it not only allowed us to 'let our hair down' during a session but was also quite informative in terms of learning about what adjusting the exposure on a camera can do. I think this medium could be very useful in future as light drawing is very compatible with video production in so much as you could create some interesting cutaways or images that would complement the video as a whole. It could also easily be used as part of an exhibition. Next session certainly demands that we throw ourselves into the work much and experiment to a much larger degree.
