Originally, the lamp that we decided to use for the confrontation scene was this lamp: (see left)We decided on this lamp because we felt that it looked like a typical object to find in an office setting. As we were wanting the lamp to represent the idea of a religious godly object that 'provides light' on the situation, the colour white was ideal.
We encountered some problems when it actually came to filming the scenes we wanted, the light was actually too bright for the scene. The lamp being so large domineered the shot and although the lamp is extremely important it isn't the focal point of the shot, the conversation is.
We then decided to look for a lamp that wasn't so domineering and found a more fitting prop.
This is the lamp we have now decided to use:
We decided on this lamp as it is also made especially to clip on to the side of desks. This is an effective attribution of the lamp as it then looks like a typical object to be found in an office setting that we are trying to achieve in the Employer's environment.
Instead of the blaring bright light that the other lamp gave to the scene, this lamp now emits a softer but still powerful light. The scene is now darker and more atmospheric in regards to the eerie atmosphere that we are wanting to create in this last scene.
So overall we feel like this lamp is the better choice to the scene.
