Location and Lighting

Hey again Nikki Here

ollie the computer wont let me look at the photos you posted however ill try again on my computer when i get home.
on the subject of location comes the issue of lighting, time of day, and weather.
we need to think about what kind of time we should film most thtillers ive seen its normally a dark but visible place and time so you can see whats happening but giving it an element of mystery unlike in some films we need to make sure we dont make it too dark as you miss vital elements of the film wich can lead it to be very confusing.
if we decide to film at night we can still make artificial light with out the use of actual lights which could be too bright and ruin the effect.
i helped out on a proffesional photo shoot a couple of months ago so we could use some of the techniques they use big white sheets which reflect light especially natural light like the sun and moon without it being too bright which could be handy in the darker hours or use large white cardboard peices or even tin foil can work but if it gets scrunched it wont give even lighting.

we also need to think about lighting in general as if we need the use of artificial light depending where we are we may not have use of electricty or street light so torches an such will be required.
