Lighting is crucial as I have learned, as it creates the atmosphere and can be used to highlight character expressions in a film. I will carefully plan out the lighting to convey the intended meaning through this micro element.
Scene 1: natural lighting to create a realistic environment. The majority of the scene will be of outside and inside the house, so key lighting like lamps will be used.
Scene 2: Natural lighting from the window to create a daytime setting. Room lamp to create a background and filler lighting
Scene 3: School lights as the main source to create a natural school environment. Phone flashlight as background lighting to emphasize the struggle of the protagonist's face while he fails his spelling tryout test.
Scene 4: all-natural lighting as the scene takes place outside
Scene 5: Computer screen as lowkey lighting to create shadows on protagonist's face.
To make the best use of Natural lighting, I will film scenes from the same side the sun is at, to create shadows, indicating the time of day, and also highlighting character facial expressions. This is done in the movie "Summer camp" as most scenes are filmed outdoors, but still avoid shadows on character faces, as they use the sun to their advantage.
