Pre-Production Problems

All ready to shoot tomorrow and our male actor has dropped out.

Huge disaster.

However, as we have a lot of scenes where we only need Jessica Brady to play Adrianna, we decided to push the shoot back 24 hours and continue on Thursday.  Myself and David are using today and tomorrow (Wednesday) as days to practice the lighting and get the setups 100% correct. 

Some images of the lighting set ups etc.

Greaseproof & blue cloth

This only worked a little bit, and instead of producing a blue-ish, cold effect onto the room, it merely softened the light.  

Next we tried blue & green folders like you would use a gel.

The result

It produced a very cold and soft light on the subject, perfect for the added flashback scene.

All in all, despite the dropout, it was a productive day in which we finalized the lighting for the film.
