Aurora Lights

Multicoloured

A multicoloured aurora light is the most realistic aurora light setting. However, the lights seem too artificial and do not fit with the environment I am creating. 

Colour Changing

There are several settings which change colours in varying ways such as quick flashes or slow transitions. However, some of the colours of which it changes to does not suit the environment that the battle scene is taking place. The colour changing is also too chaotic and distracts from the main focus of the piece. 

Single Colour 

I decided to use a single colour light instead of colour changing lights which adds a calmer movement to the piece. Unlike the colour changing lights, it adds to the environment without taking the focus out of the characters. From only using one colour, I have learned that depending on the colour you choose, it can change the whole mood of the piece. Because of that, I experimented with the single colour choices the light had. 

Blue Light

The blue light creates a much cooler environment for the piece and emphasises the blue tones in the character and the creature. The movement of the light also resembles water, which could further emphasise the water/ice element the character and creature is based off of. However, the blue light seems very serene which contrasts with the intended mood of the environment. Because of this, the light is not very effective.

Red Light

In contrast to the blue light, the red light conveys a much more sinister mood. Rather than the blue being calm and serene water, the red light gives a much more dark and dangerous mood of flames erupting from the floor. As well as this, it blends in well with the red light underneath the creature. Therefore, I will use the red light in my final exhibition.

Green Light

The light also had the colour green as a light setting. While it retains the cooler colour scheme, due to the lack of green in the piece it stands out too much and therefore does not fit into the environment.
