Lighting decisions

Lighting:


We plan to shoot the short film at night, this is because the lighting is easier to control and it suits the synopsis. There will be lights on in the background producing light however we will use additional lighting to balance it out and keep the light focused on areas when needed.

The power cut will take the setting into complete darkness, this will only last a few seconds for the purpose of suggesting something is off. Afterwards the lighting will return to normal.

When the character cheats the lighting will dim to show something has happened it wont be drastic but it will be noticeable enough for the audience to pick up on it.

In each room the characters appear in we will have lighting that is in that room but use additional lighting if needed. In areas like the kitchen we may not need the additional lighting as the room should be bright enough, however in the hall, upstairs and the living room it is more likely that the additional lighting will need to be used as the lights in them aren't as powerful.
