Lighting….

 

Oh god… Lighting….

Ok- so we HAD this all in plan. Our first recording session included the specific color grading we wanted, with some bright, warm colors, So I ended up messing with the controls until we got to a sunset pink at (insert gradient)

You may be wondering: Doesn’t Tuyetnhis character not rlly work for this? Isnt she going to be wearing all black and white? Well thats the thing! This film is about friendship, and cool toned lighting is preserved for the loneliness at the end of the film.

On that point, we want to keep it 3 point lighting to make everything feel warm and full, but i do want some heavy high key lighting and natural lighting here and there (though that depends on our recording time) and of course, low key lighting for the less happy scenes at the end to reflect my characters feelings of despair.

SPEAKING OF DESPAIR THOUGH…. most of our process has been heavily set back by equipment. Our last recording time was basically ruined by being provided the wrong lighting- so im moving in with backup! I saw this wonderful person on youtube use a 15$ amazon ring light to make some gorgeous scenes, and i’m going to attempt to do so too. Were all extremely busy so im hoping to speedrun getting all the supplies wed need asap!!
