LIGHTING NOTES



Considering we are filming in November and lots of our soap trailer is filmed outside, we need to film on a day with good weather conditions and earlier on in the day as darkness approaches quickly in the winter evenings.

A small amount of our trailer will be in an interior setting (inside pub/in houses); therefore, if natural light is not prominent, we will have to use some artificial light.  In order for our film to look professional, we need to ensure the artificial light is of a good standard so the camera can pick up fine details.

In terms of high key and low key, we want to keep the lighting verisilitude to real life as we would like our soap to be as realistic as possible. 

This is the coffee shop from Hollyoaks and it shows high key artificial lighting.


This is an example of both low key natural lighting and low key artificial lighting via the candles.



This is an example from Emmerdale of high key natural lighting.
