masking

[kathrync2003]

I have created a prison scene with the following layers.

Mask - which is a small red circle
prison - which is the prison itself
Dark Filter - which is a large rectangle covering the scene
Duplicate - which is a duplicate of the prison scene.

I applied the Mask Filter to the Mask layer, but when I run the file, the searchlight isn't working. Instead of allowing the prison to show through, I just see a red circle moving around.

What have I done wrong?
