HALL SCENE Behind the Scenes - Our Set Up by Maria Beardall and Jess Smith

As you can see in our set up, we had the camera on a tripod (extending the full way out for height purposes) which was almost always centrally opposite to the windows.

We also had our LED panel lights with barn doors to the right of the camera used as a fill light to really give our main character/actress more light on her face for close ups etc.

We also used a reflector to give even more light, which will look natural to the audience, to create more light as she is being back light by the natural light from the windows.

We also used the iphone flashlight for exrtra lighting for one particular scene. We did this because the LED panel light worked really well to light one side of her face, but we wanted to light both sides of her face for a certain shot. Therefore, as she walked towards the camera for this the moving shot I (Jess) pointed the flashlight on the left side of her face whilst Maria walked opposite me with the LED panel. We made sure we walked carefully at the same pace to ensure both sides were equally lit. Although we didn't prepare for using this type of lighting, it worked out very well.
