PART 9
Making of the Concept Trailer pt.2 "Lighting"

Follow the behind-the-scenes production of a full length feature film... "from script to screen'".This is a short film/proof of concept/teaser trailer for an upcoming science fiction thriller feature film.

This is the second video in a behind-the-scenes look at the making of our proof of concept trailer, which focuses on the lighting style and techniques used. It was shot no budget on a Canon 7D over a 10 hour shoot. Edited on Final Cut Pro.

Many thanks to all those involved. Thank you for your support.

Watched your series. great stuff. One question, did you use a blue colored gel filters in front of the lamps? Or how did you create that blue colored look?

[REELOnlineFilmSchool]

@TKTnetwork Thanks matey :) It's great to get your feedback and support - means a lot! We did indeed use blue gels with our lamps. With a lot of lighting these days DOPs use white light & then grade the footage later, its faster and means theres more light on set which means a better image quality. Unfortunately it can also look flat when graded, so we like to try and light with coloured gels when we can (like they used to) as we think it looks better :) Good question & thanks again!

that was a real film makers tutorial stuff you dont hear on youtube much, well done. Just a question about depth of field...I understand the low light situation you had hear and the importance of critical focus but did you keep the iris small just because of equipement inadequacy or did you feel this scene didnt have space or need for a cinematic depth of field. Seems a waste with all that great lighting?

[REELOnlineFilmSchool]

@fotizome thanks for your kind words, it means a lot! Unfortunately due to really tight space in such a small room, we had to shoot a lot of the coverage on wide angles. We would've preferred to shoot long and have that shallow cinematic depth of field you talked about, and we got it a couple of times, but on the most part we couldn't get far enough away from the subject on the longer lenses.

@fotizome Re Iris: shooting with a small iris is more of a documentary technique to keep as much of your footage as sharp/usable as possible. So again, with little time on our hands to do retakes (an no focus puller!) we opted for this to keep the pace of the shoot moving. I think most film lenses have a set exposure rating/ideal aperture size for optimum use which is rarely deviated from - normally a medium to large iris which also reduces that D.O.F. even further... i think? haha.

@REELOnlineFilmSchool thanx for you answer. we are in the process of writting a horrr film script too and we found a lonly and left house in the style of the psycho house. As a big Halloween fan I did a Halloween film location movie (check it out on my channel and give me your comment!!) and realised by studing the film that they also lightened the 2 houses at the and with blue light. Thats whay I am interessed in blue lightening.

@suschi64 thank you :) thanks for the support! x

@murifilmpictures cheers for that, it's a very important (and valid) point - on a recent shoot we actually implemented it after doing a bit more research (always handy!!). Thanks for the support and... good EYES! Haha x
