Rosie Rayner Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I'm hoping someone could enlighten me about these two shots (the first from The Social Network, the second Blade Runner.) I'm interested in how they were lit, practically speaking? I can see they both have practical sources- an orange outdoor light and a fluorescent bathroom light, but I'm curious as to whether any other sources or reflectors were used.
John Holland Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I would think no other sources used maybe just a bit of bounce from the front ? I think not.
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted August 25, 2014 Premium Member Posted August 25, 2014 It's pretty much just the practical lamp doing the lighting in the "Blade Runner" shot, with smoke to spread the light (smoke can even act to fill in the shadows a little). The backlight on the top of the head in "Social Network" May either be from the practical causing his hair to halo or there is something above the frame like a Kino tube creating that.
