I am storyboarding a script which is a horror movie that takes place inside a house for most of it. I want use tungsten lighting, to give it that shadowy house feel. But there are some problems, like for example, there is a scene where a guy looks in his bathroom mirror and I want to use my friend's bathroom, which has a mirror that has lightbulbs going around it, like a celebrity's make up mirror.
However halogen lights burn at 3200 K. Regular tunsgten bulbs for house light sockets burn at 2800 K. You can see the difference in color and it doesn't match, as one is a little more yellow. I would like all the light to be white and match so should I gel the halogens to be 4 degrees lower, since the regular bulbs will be seen in the movie, or what should I do?
What do movies do in this case, when you want a house light to be in the shot, as the point of origin of the light, but it does not burn at quite the same temperature? Or do I have to gel the halogen lights to match on the screen lights, and then white balance to the on screen ones?
Thanks.
