Part 2 of the production of Day 1, it was... something. I knew lighting was going to be our biggest challenge, but I did not expect it to be this hard and frustrating.
Turns out to shoot inside and rely on one cheap white light and a not-so-cheap blue light its really hard to do as beginners. We tried our best to take advantage of the lights that were on in the room, but it was too difficult to find one that had a balance with the blue light.
Every shot we did there seemed to have a shadow or a reflection of the lights.
Here, you can clearly see that the white light is behind her, and it doesn't look natural
The blue shadow is very obvious and well, although you can't see it in the picture, the light moves with the camera because it's attached to it.
We tried without being attached, but this is how it turned out
It's hard to spot with this picture, but in the footage is very clear that some shadows are still there
Also, all the footage of the closeups of the objects is like this;
(This was my bad for not checking the footage)
So this one actually turned out pretty good, again, I think what made it hard was filming at night with only two/ three light sources.
Overall, I think this day was a great way to start off. We also got so many ideas that were not planned, so looking forward, it looks like we have to reshoot some shots and learn more about how to use lighting.
