friday week 2 the raven

Friday we got most of the work done still no shelves up and there is still work to be done but we finally got props in and I feel for the space I have to work with, I didn’t get the time I wanted to light the set meaning I literally got 40 minutes to try and rig lights before we was kicked out. This means that we will have to do finish the lighting off on Monday and also plan the shots which is going to be a real rush and gives me very little time to figure things out. It’s really frustrating the amount of time I have spent preparing the set yet been given so little time to achieve the lighting I want and testing it out my fear is that I will just have to settle for something that works rather than planning all the lighting points and what I have started to look at is hanging lights on from above the set and bouncing light back into the spaces we need to light more rather than being able to get goof consistent lighting throughout the set. Only time will tell on Monday and we still need to finish bits off for the set I hoped that nearly everything would be done by now and Monday could be just for some run through’s just to make sure we have everything prepared but now it’s a case of still trying to figure lighting out and shot positions which means that I imagine a lot of it will have to be done on the fly when filming this is something I really didn’t want to do I wanted to have everything set and ready and know what shot we was taking from what angle, on what lens and with what exposure to ensure we get a really nice set up. I also rigged my hand made reflectors above the studio to bounce some light back and it gave the scene a nice speckled look on the walls which I liked.
