Treatment: Visual Style

Our Original Plan for Lighting:

We intend to have the room lit in a fairly naturalistic way, we want it to look as though there are two main lighting styles used, low key and high key. Our preference is to have the low key lighting soft and feint, to almost reflect Jess' state of mind. It should look like a natural source of light.

For the dark scenes we will use numerous filters over one light so we can see her and it will replicate how her room looks before the morning. We are planning to direct our light at the ceiling so the light can bounce off the ceiling and walls to give the impression of room lighting.

The Final Approach to Lighting:

We still intend to light our room in a naturalistic way. We decided to use all three lights in the lighting kit with filters. We aimed to keep the lighting constant by blocking out light from the window so there would be less likelihood of continuity errors as the light outside changes as the day proceeds. We will grade the sequence further to observe our desired look for the dark scenes as well as the light scenes.

Papadopoulos & Sons

We took 'Papadopoulos & Sons'(Marcus Markou, 2012) as an example, at the begining, they made the lighting of the mansion have a sense of coldness as well as making it naturalistic.

For the main bedroom where the predominant scene is set, we will use two lights. One light will have a purple filter over white filter. The second light will have a grey dimming filter and a white filter. The first light provides clarity and gives the scene a fresh look. The second light lessens silhouettes and balances the light as well as adding a yellow tinge to colourise the look of the actors. We plan to direct both these lights out of shot so the walls and ceiling and reflect the light.
