PhilPowers Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 hello there, I have been asked to shoot a person talking to camera using day for night on digibeta. This will take place in a corridor one side of which is a bank of windows during the day with no direct sunlight. The director has called for this to look like the night scenes from a harry potter film. Namely the scene when harry is using his invisibilty cloak for the first time and alan rickman senses he's there. Anyway I have to do all of this in camera as there is no possible way that there is time to do this in post. My question therefore is if im going to blue filter, desaturate and underexpose to give me a half decent day for night background how should I light my talent? Or How much light do I need to illuminate my foreground subject if im say three stops under in the shade on a Bristish summer day?? Am i right in thinking I should be three stops over to compensate for the 3 im under for the back ground? help my head is starting to spin... Oh yeah shooting this at night is not an option by the way.. All the best PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
