Lighting Ideas

As there is going to be a lot of natural light coming from the windows, I will not need a lot of synthetic lighting. Yet this all depends on the time of day I shoot the video, most likely I will shoot at around 4pm, as it will be autumn when I shoot this video (30th September - 18th October if I keep to the schedule).

I think that as the windows will produce a lot of light, I need to ensure that the camera's light levels are not going to make the image seem to cold and white. I could dim the lighting physically using some white curtains around the bay. This could also make the mise-en-scene a lot more interesting.


I am thinking about using fairy lights and candles as extra lighting in the background, these are more props than for their lighting function as they do not produce a lot of light. I like how candles are featured in the background of Laura Marling's Sophia and they are their to add texture to the out-of-focus background.
