One Shot Lighting!
During week two of One Shot Film we focused on the use of lighting that we will be using within our film. Therefore in our groups we all practiced different lighting skills. We had to create the lighting so it looked as though it was daylight. When filming, we had to base it on an interview but the main aspect of doing this was to be able to understand setting up the lights and using them correctly to set different moods and atmospheres.For this we were given a video camera, a tripod, one light and gels for the light. We set it all up as shown and moved the equipment around a few times until we were happy with the set up. We set the interview next to a window, which helped because it brought more light into the scene. The gels used for lighting help set the mood of your shot depending on what colour gels you use. For this we used a light blue colour, which made the scene look more tranquil and soft.
Doing this task helped us a lot and we now can think about what gels and how many lights we will want for our one shot film.
Looking back to our inspiration, our lighting is mainly going to be spot lights. Therefore we all discussed together that we would need around three lights and grey/black gels to dim the lighting and set the atmosphere. We then worked out how we would put it together and how the spot lights would work and then picked a date to start filming.
