Hi , I'm Alberto , a cinematography student from Spain. My English isn't good, so I beg you patience.
I'm going to be DP in a short that is going to be shooted in 16 mm Arri SR3 advanced in Madrid next Tuesday and Wednesday indoor . I have choose Kodak Vision2 500T 7218.
The short is about a christmas story that happens inside a Christmas present ( box ). So there are 4 walls with a window (it's snowing outside) ,a door, gift presents and a christmas tree ( at first is off, later on), but there isn´t any lamp that justify the lighting. So I have to invent the lighting.
On the one hand I want to light backgrounds and on the other hand the characters.
The backgrounds are painted with vertical lines maroon and red, the atmosphere must to be magical and I 'm going to use tiffen filter Black promist.
My question is how to light the backgrounds, because there isnt´any element over the walls, so the walls are only painted.
I hope that you give me a hand. Thank you about your time.
All the best,
Alberto
