Mise-en-scene Lighting

 This is part 2 of mise-en-scene development. One of our biggest challenges with the production of this film opening is lighting. For the first scene, we are going to shoot in the afternoon/night, so it's going look something like this

Since I wanted to incorporate color theory, this scene is where I could really play around with that, so using color lighting would help me achieve that. I did a quick test to see how the lighting would be positioned. I watched a couple of videos to get knowledge of how to use lighting techniques, especially indoors at night.

Here is how my test turned out:

Ignore how ridiculously I look, but I was holding the blue light on the side, and my phone resembled the computer light. On the day of the production, I'm going to have to see where I can position the lights, but this at least gives me an idea of what the shots are going to look like.
