I'm messing with a sequence at the minute that will occur during night.
Man asleep hears a burgler goes down to investigate etc...
What are peoples tricks and tips for filming at night, in the dark... Going to be lots of close ups of the Man as he hears sounds, reacts gets scared etc...
So how do you light a character when there is no practical light??
Have watched a few 'Day to Night' type tutorials but I'm not overly convinced...especially for an indoor shoot.
First attempt was using a spot using the flags to create a thin line of light across the characters face...need to experiment a bit more with that as the shadows were screaming "THERE'S A LIGHT IN THE ROOM"
So..Do with lights or do it in post??
