Hey guys,
Just wanting to hear your thoughts and strategies on tackling a low key/dark day interior scene.
Sort of like something you'd see from Gone Girl or Ozark.
Here are a couple of references images from Lion and It Comes At Night that sort of have the vibe I'm going for. The Lion one moreso.
I was thinking of shooting at 4200K, blacking out most windows and keeping the source coming in from one direction, and then using a S4 Litemat closer up and dimmed. Then I'd just neg on the other side for contrast, and make sure my background is at least 3/4/5 stops under my key.
What would your tactics be? Keeping in mind I am shooting this around 12pm - 4pm during an Australian Summer. So I intend to cover the windows with some bleached muslin to avoid any green spill and to control the light.
Cheers!
