Dawn w/ 500T


Marc Levy

Recommended Posts

I'm shooting a scene that takes place at dawn, just before the sun rises. An 85B would be too strong, as the light wouldn't be 5600K, right? What is the color temp, and how should I filter for 500T film? Also, if I supplement with tungsten light, should I gel these lights?

Sort of depends on what color you want the dusk light to be. If neutral or warm, use daylight-balanced stock or the 85B. If slightly cool, use something like the 81EF or lighter. If very blue-ish, don't correct it.

 

Any additional lighting would have to be 5500K at least to match the dusk, if not bluer. But you could use warmer light to suggest an off-camera warm glow lighting the face.

 

To some degree, this is something you can do by eye.
