Reflector

This is one of the things I have been wanting for some time. Initially the reason I wanted it was so I could shoot more photography but after thinking about how to set up for this shoot in the studio I will be doing I think this could prove incredibly important. The main issue I think we will face with this studio work is that it is all being shot in a small space with all 4 walls to create a claustrophobic feel that I think will cause a lot of problems in terms of being able to get lights and cameras in the set especially with all the movements that I know we will be doing. The other issue is that the scene is meant to look candle lit so creating a candle lit scene is a challenge enough as it not being able to place lights facing into the set makes this even harder and means that I won’t be able to top light it as all the lights would be facing up and the character is meant to be in a room which is only being lit with candles which is going to be a challenge. So one of the things I have been considering to overcome this is using lights and reflectors to bounce light back into the room giving a more natural look. Another thing that can be done is give the reflector a slight movement and using the gold side to make it seem like a candle flicker. This will hopefully be achievable with the size of this particular reflector.
