Lighting Decisions - Rasmus Klingstroem

As we'd be filming the first scene within a very dark public field, we'd need appropriate lighting to ensure that the audience would know where we're filming, and why we're filming there.
As it is a thriller opening the audience must be confused, but know the basics of what is happening within the scene. For this scene, we'd need; torches (for props and so we are aware of what's happening), Tripod lighting (in case torches are not enough), small LED lights (to make sure we are not lacking in lighting at all).

The second scene shouldn't have too many problems in terms of lighting, instead there will be problems with the white balance, and the realism within the scenes. Thus it will be determined on-site whether we'd need to use the big tripod lighting, or use natural lighting.

The third scene, whereby the character is walking outside, shouldn't need any additional lighting other than natural lights as it would be filmed outside, and the use of tripods could ruin the realism (unless it's a very dark day).

  1. Can you not illustrate this by using stills for existing films that would give me a better idea of what your considering. Risk assessment also could do with some more analysis. If you are filming this week let us know if you will miss a lesson.
