Lighting Decisions - John Swift

Dolphin leisure Centre
We have decided that we can use external lighting for any dry-side filming at the Dolphin leisure centre, using Low key lighting to whenever we can to create Enigma and suspense. however, some places such as the swimming pool will be very hard to light just using LED's therefore we have come to the conclusion that we will keep the main lights on in the room then dim it through post production editing.

there are also windows at the Dolphin leisure centre so we can make use of the natural lighting allowing the character to also be aware of the time of day.

The Airport Hanger
in the airport hanger we can make the best use of low key lighting, this will help us to set the mood and create emotion, allowing the viewers to see certain traits of the characters and try to make out whether the person on screen is a protagonist or antagonist.

we can use lighting to create a lot of shadows at the airport which can be used to show the power that a character has, and also to help distinguish who is the antagonist.

we want the lighting to be invisible to the viewer, and adapt to fit the three point lighting rule. however if we reduce the fill lights it will create shadows on certain sides of the characters face creating mood. we can use one high key light and a reflector to create this effect as well.

The Train Station
Once again we will have to use external lighting such as LED's as there will be no places to plug in the lights whilst filming outside the train station. we will be using low key lighting to create enigma and add to the atmosphere.

there will be some natural lighting as we will be filming outside. However, we must still use external lighting to ensure the scene is will lit and can use them to create shadows.
