Lighting for our OTS

I have the task of looking at lighting for our piece. We needed to create a temporal ellipsis though lighting. We will be doing by using daylight to nighttime.

We have planned to start filming during the evening about sunset which would be about 4 o clock, and continue filming until it gets dark and carry on filming. We want to do this to make it look like the main protagonist has travelled a far distance in a long time, we doing this this all over the city to make it look like he is walking to his job.



The Basics of Lighting for Film Noir from FilmmakerIQ.com on Vimeo.


This is a video that looks at the basics of lighting in a film noir. We are actually making more of a neo noir, which is a modern day film noir. We are going to be using lighting aspects of a film noir, like the street lamps which we will be using to create a 3 point lighting. We want to focus a lot on the look of of piece because we aren't a black and white filter on our OTS.
