Hey, I'm relatively new to working on my own projects and it's been quite awhile since I've shot a short film, as I've mainly edited up until this point. I'm shooting a short film this weekend and I'm trying to achieve a very specific lighting look. I'm trying to bring out a more of yellow, somewhat sickly look without over lighting my actors. And the space is small and I have a very limited budget, so I've been using work lights up until this point. This is the room: 1.https://drive.google.com/file/d/100eenq3szzINkdNcrsPVaog0cgHznaKH/view?usp=sharing 2. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t-XntmH0FZOx2GiO8s1EAYdHwY9PQVM6/view?usp=sharing We're removing all the photos from the wall behind the desk and chair, a well as removing most of the stuff from the lower book shelf. We're placing a yellow practical light on that lower book case for some of the yellow-ing effect. I was thinking about using to overhead soft box lights coupled with lighting outside the window. I'm just a bit stumped on how to really work with this space and whatnot. What my goal is something similar to this style of lighting with a bit more age and yellow: 1. http://mattscottvisuals.com/lighting/2015/10/23/largesourcetungsten I've been trying to draw up lighting diagrams by looking over his work and considering some of the tests we've ran in the room. Thanks for any help!
