Lighting

For when we are filming, the lighting would be something we would need to take into consideration is the lighting when we film outside. As it is winter, it will get very dark around four o clock, so we will need to go out around dusk, so we can film with enough light in order to make the film adequate. If we need to make the film look dark whilst in the editing process, we can put filters on the video and make it look like we filmed it in darkness. However, if we film, we will only get one chance for each take for each day we film because we can't go back and refilm when it is a lot darker than it should be at that point in the film. For when we film outside, we won't have to worry about lighting because we will always be filming indoors in the evening and the lighting won't change a lot so we can get away with retaking if we mess up a scene.

Overall, the only part of lighting to worry about is when outdoors- we will be using flashlights for some parts, but we can always replace the batteries if those mess up. We will also be using some additional lighting, but that won't matter too much because it will all be indoors so we will be able to use chargers when needed. We will use situational lighting for when indoors to create an effect on the audience. We will use low-key lighting when outside- the flashlights and everything all counts toward the mise en scene because it all puts something into the end product of the film opening. The additional lighting when indoors will either be houses in the house that are already there, or we will use some high key lighting from the school for the weekend or overnight. It depends on when we plan to film.
