After looking at other students blogs I found this video which they used as a basis for their 1 minute music video task.
I found it quite interesting and decided to take it as a bit of a challenge, although I wasn't sure how to interpret it for video so stuck with photos.
I set up my light and attached it (with some help from blue tac) to my tripod to use as a stand. I chose the biggest light I had available as I felt this would give the best and most clear outline.
I then placed my, mostly, willing model in front of the light and began taking photo. I tried various angles and positions of both the model and light and here's some of the better results.
I'm not 100% happy with the results and would probably have to experiment more (stronger/weaker light, more light angles, different models, darker room etc) before I could ever use it properly but I don't hate it as a first attempt.
