Neater Light man?

I then went about working out a way to create a light man, that looked neater than the ones i had done before, previously creating a stencil in my lesson, i went onto using that as a guide to see if it would work.

First Experiments:

As it was a stencil, i tried lighting the back of the hollowed out space to create the look, my results are below.

As you can see the outcome didn't come out as i thought, as when the light hits the edge of the cardboard i found that the light spread, and the camera picked up to much of the light that i intended to picture
