Planning post

     While in Colombia, my room had curtains that reminded me a lot of the curtains in film noir movies but just a little more modern. 

(Example of the curtains)

    At first I wanted to see how the curtains looked with an basic opening. As the light penetrated through the curtains, I observed the shadow it looked very accurate to how it does in the films. Shortly after I realized that in order to achieve the best look or a sharper look with the shadows I will need a strong light in a controlled environment.         

    Realizing this I realized that I would need to hang the curtains in a dark room by itself with a Harsh light, creating the iconic shadows. Purchasing the venetian blinds by it self from a hardware will insure a smooth process in recording the needed shots for the opening. Or instead of buying the curtains I can simply purchase carboard and make individual slits.

      I also tried seeing how the curtain's shadow would look if the vanes of the curtains were closed more shut. Overall the shadow that was created by the different vanes didn't look as good as the original one. In the end I am going to use the original look of the curtain but create the shadows using a piece of paper or carboard having horizontal slits
