Planning: Lighting

Our film will be edited as a montage and will present various locations and situations. Therefore we will be shooting in a multiple locations, both exterior and interior. Consequently, this will mean that our lighting will vary between each scene. For the exterior shots we will be attempting to shoot in good weather conditions in order to maintain a consistent uplifting and happy portrayal of youth. We will also be shooting in front of a sunset in order to create a golden toned scene. The warm colours will draw positive connotations from the viewer and thus depict a positive image of growing up.

For interior shots we will be using natural lighting to cast a gentle, pretty light on to the scene. However, there are a few scenes in our film in which we are attempting to portray our protagonist as stressed or upset. For example, when she is revising for her exams.  For these particular scenes we will be using artificial lighting to create a harsher, colder atmosphere. There are also scene of our protagonist at a party or concert. For these scenes we will be using coloured lighting to create a more exciting and fun atmosphere.

We will be taking advantage of studio lights and good weather conditions in order to portray particular tones in different scenes. Lighting is a key element of our filming process as it will allow us to depict the tone of the scene and further the atmosphere we are trying to create in that particular moment.
