Lighting inside a theater

[Jeremy Montana]

Hello,

I am just starting school, and I have a project involving characters sitting inside a movie theater during trailers/movies.

 

The theater itself has adequate lighting, but I am in need of a few suggestions to get the onscreen glow reflected on the audience. I am lost as how to get an interesting composite of colors and glow to emulate the bounce of a projected image on the audience's faces.

 

Thanks in advance.

Have you considered projecting a film onto the screen ?

 

To keep it under your direct control maybe just a bright video projector (or three)
