The Problem
There is a scene where the lights will go dark in all areas other than where a spotlight appears. Given the restrictive nature within the location, it has presented as quite a challenge to use the necessary lighting equipment in the limited space available to me. I therefore decided to test out a process of creating a spotlight in post-production, using Adobe After Effects. The results of this test can be seen below.

The Results
I think the test heeded relative success. It showed me that the post-production fix could work to a certain degree, but the lack of shadows that would be created make it look unnatural and I will therefor look into alternate ways to achieve the desired look despite the hurdles I'm presented with.
