niulinfeng Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Hi, I will be DP a commercial indoor scene for a medicine. This will be my first time DP a commercial and I haven't DPed any works in the past 2 years, and I am not even sure if my lighting plot makes any sense, so I am nervous as hell. I really want to get some help/suggestions/corrections from you guys. Just feel free to criticize and correct my lighting plot, because I know I am a shitty commercial DP. I 'd appreciate if u can use graphics as assist or make a totally new lighting plan to correct my original plan. As for the requirement of the lighting part of this commercial: The director wants a bright healthy indoor daylight look: There are 5 scenes needed to be lit; I assume the camera is Alexa and the EI setting is 800, depth of filed remain unknown; I attached the set design and the storyboard from art director and my lighting plot and all the info I can get for the commercial to this post.\ I really appreciate you guys' help Thx the lighting plot made by me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua Davies Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I assume you've shot the commercial by now, I hope it went well! How did you create the lighting plots out of interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Landau Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Sorry I didn't see this post earlier, I would have said to add kickers, backlights and background lighting. If this is a commericial, everyone needs to look really good and happy. adding slight kicks on the women's faces and a nice not over bearing backlight makes things look happier. Lighting your background adds dept and separation from the subjects. Product shots are traditionally done with a soft overhead light and double backlight rims, then an inkie with a snoot on it to add a subtle highlight to the product label. Hope all went well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
