Cookies: This stands for Cucoloris. These are a cut out of wood, metal, card or anything that casts a shadow. This stands between the light fixture and the subject. They can be bought in shops, but are also quite easy to make
GoBos: This stands for Go Before Optics, these are made out of metal or glass and go inside the light fixture, between the light source and the lens
For our blinds we decided t use the cookies design, this was because we had a laser cutter available to cut out the design on some mount board. When it came to supporting the cutout we decided holding it would have to do, otherwise the stand would get in the way of the already limited space we were working in.
This was an example off google called 'go bo blinds' After I had this design I went onto 2D design and made this cutout. I then exported the design to a file compatible with the laser cutter. This screen shot is taken from the video linked below. But instead of making it slot in-between the light and lens, it is just a cutout using the blind design.
This is example of the laser cutter, cutting out the design. We made adjustments so that the blind separators were thicker and cast a better shadow on the walls
A useful video about noir Lighting can be found on TheBEAT website, this video contains a screen shot of the cutout we used to create the blinds shadow
