Blog 27: Lighting

 

Lighting 

    Hey guys!!! Welcome back to another blogs. I have hinted to you many many times about lighting. Lighting is the most important component that we're trying to achieve and filter through editing. Lightning can be achieved through different angles and times period of the day. 

    Our filming project was recorded in a late noon with the best sunny weather. We intended to film at 1pm because we wanted the most energetic natural light source. The bright sun shining through those glamorous glass, leaving a soft filter coating on Gigi's decor and brighten her features. The film started off with Gigi's walking in from the corner of her bed, a darker side of the room. The camera pan left with Gigi's walking in, approaching her make up table with more natural light coming in. This gave out a sense of high key lighting with the intention to highlight her rightful mood. As the film progress, she stood out by doing make up and gorgeously smiling as the room also brighten up her mood. 
 

    For the first half plots, we wanted to absorb as much natural light scene as possible. We wanted to develop gradually to catch our audience off guard when the plot twist come. Through built up tension, the movie focused on facial expression and observation. The lighting shift gradually from high key lighting to low key lighting as Gigi's mood went dark, created color fade out effect. From the point where Gigi's expressing her disappointment on, the filming will coat it self with similar cool tone indicating uneasy mood and her own celebration.
