Hello fellow cinematographers,

I am shooting a short film in a few weeks and have been on a few locations recces this week and at almost every one of them the issue has been reflections on the windows.

The film is based at night in a launderette so the windows almost look like mirrors. I know that a possible fix would be using a polariser, but the main concern is will it really help that much or will i still be fighting the reflections of lights and crew in the windows every time i look their way.

Are there any other alternatives to reduce reflections?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hi, I'm trying to make a compilation of films with low key lighting in them for reference and inspiration.

It would be great if some of you could help me by giving me some film titles.

Merci!

Thomas
