I am preparing to film a scene which involves two characters wandering around a large family room while daylight pouring in from nearby windows continually shifts from cloudy to sunny to sunny to cloudy. Imagine an overcast day where the sun peeks out for a moment and is then obscured by clouds once again.
My questions are:
Would it be more advantageous to film during the day or at night (at night so that I have complete control over the light fixtures)?
Am I to slowly dim the lights or introduce and take away diffusion? A grip friend proposed that I could create a very long shower curtain of various diffusions to pull in front of lights stationed outside the windows.
My lighting equipment consists of:
4 redheads
2 blondies
2k fresnel
750w Ellipsoidal
1k 64 PAR
Aputure 600D
Hive Wasp PAR
I appreciate any help. Thank you!
