We are shooting a student senior thesis film on super 16mm and have two scenes coming up that have to be shot with a car on a busy street. Several shots will be shot from the cars interior, daytime and early evening, with two actors and a little dialogue, but the others we are hoping to shoot from the exterior, camera mounted to the hood.
My main question would be what are the cheapest and most effective ways - positions of lights, best ways to power them - to light the actors in this small, moving, space and given the time of year, most likely a cloudy day. We have tossed around several ideas but none seem entirley worth the risk. Thanks!
