Hi all!
I'm starting a short movie in a few weeks and I'm searching for references to study.
Part of the story takes place in two locations of the same house (bedroom and living room), and we follow the protagonists through one day, from early morning to evening. According to the script, the house has no electricity, although the story is set in 2020. For the mood we need, half of the scenes will be darkly lit (shutters closed) and half will be full of light.
I'm afraid of making something too dull, since big part of it is set in just two rooms and I can't change most of the light, since is all set in one day (can't alternate between sunlight, overcast, etc.). Also, I can't use practicals, which is a way I love to add interest in the frame and to motivate light.
Could you recommend some movies to watch, maybe shot in a similar scenario?
Thanks
