Lighting For Our Film

    

    For the lighting in our film opening, we want her room to be dimmed with only enough light to see what's happening in her room. Since we will probably film during day time and night time, we would close the curtains of the room to block any light coming in and add some soft lights, like maybe LEDs or string lights. I was talking to my parents about how the lights could work and my mom showed me this lamp she has that can change colors and light up a room. I tried it out in her room and saw all the different colors it has and I think it could be a good option for us, but I would still have to try it in either my room or my sister's room when everything is dark to get  more realistic version of what it would look like. 

    For the parts of the opening that take place outside of her room, we want some natural light coming in. We were thinking filming between golden hour and sunset to get some nice colors in the frame when she's about to walk out her house but we noticed that it would be hard to film in such a small time frame so we talked about it and we come to the decision to find multiple filming days incase we can't get all the shots at that time. For the shots of her getting on her bike outside and leaving the house, we really want the background to show a sunset leaning into night to represent the darkness taking over her. One restriction for this however, is that we cannot control the weather and we just have to hope that on our filming days we will have a nice sunset without too many clouds so it can still be seen.
