I thought it was really interesting to hear everyone’s presentation on thursday. I think it’s intriguing how each of us have our own ideas and I’m excited to see our final products.

Anyway, since I received some feedback after my presentation, I decided to take note and to see how I can progress from here.

Firstly, I think Paul was the one who mentioned about doing a series of comparison. So basically it’s one shot with the proper lighting and one without. This was something that I’ve always planned to do. However, I was inspired to maybe do a short film explaining how different lightings can affect the scene. So instead of filming just a normal portrait, maybe I could film the entire process of me fiddling and experimenting with the lights.

Another feedback I received was the use of natural lighting. While doing my research, I came across an article about the use of natural lighting in the movie “The Revenant.” The movie was interestingly almost shot entirely with natural lighting.

The Revenant.

I think I’ve had the misconception so far that natural lighting isn’t enough, however I could use whatever lighting there is for me to help with my production. This is especially useful if my production is on a tight budget. Knowing how to make full use of natural lighting could save me on some cost.

I mean, sunlight is free, might as well use it!
