Bernat Bosch Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Hi, I'm preparing a tv drama. The 60% of the production is on stage. There are a very big windows with a photography backdrop. The problem is the distance beteween the backdrop to the window, only 7 feets. I'm asking to create less depth of field, put the backdrop out of focus. I don't know how, that's is usual ?. For lighting, I'm thinking to overexpose one stop, to simulate a real extiror. I'm on the good way...... Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mihai Bodea Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 with the backdrop so close to the windows your problem is to evenly light it. I suggest to overexpose heavily. this way you might cover unevenness and other problems. when I did a backdrop I overexposed it about 5-7 stops (on film), so that the blacks in the backdrop would render mid gray. it was ok, except for some props somebody left between the backdrop and the window; but that was only one take. when I'm inside looking out, in day shots, I expect everything to burn out.
