Hi
I am shooting a short film next week and need some advice on two lighting situations.
First - There will be shots of a girl inside a car as a man approaches from the back window. I need to balance the interior light a little but obviously can not use large lighting. Any ideas?
Second - There is a scene with the girl sitting underneath a crack in the curtains inside. The man arrives at the window on a ladder and therefore needs to be exposed as correctly as possible without totally leaving the girl in the dark. Ideally i would have a thin ray of light coming down from the window illuminating her but the forecast is weak and obviously she will be facing the wrong way. I doubt i could position any kind of reflector in front of her to bring her face up. I would like only her to really be illuminated, to exaggerate the minimal light source and that the light in her room is off. Otherwise i would just use a filtered redhead or something similar.
I have access to a couple of small video lights, redhead and blonde 2k kits. I am shooting on 5D and 7D.
Look forward to hearing peoples suggestions and help! I have never done any lighting myself so I'm new to it.
Thanks for reading!
