OK, so I'm somewhat new to this and I'm trying to read posts to get ideas on what I should be using but I am totally lost.
I am breaking it down by scene. The first thing I need to shoot is a home gym. I have an idea about how I'm going to achieve this.
Black out the window.
Two lights right in front of the window (one with a 'blinds' gobo effect).
One, soft, fill light (probably a reflector actually) on the face.
Would that work? What kind of lights would be best for that.
My initial idea was to buy a set of three lights with umbrellas/soft boxes/gels etc. Now I am thinking that this won't be good enough as I also have to shoot the following locations.
Kitchen (day)
Warehouse (night)
Club (night)
Office (day)
Cellar (day)
Supermarket (night)
Street (night)
Car (day)
We are shooting in November in the UK (so it's likely to be overcast) and we were going to use day for night for the street scenes at night. The club is worrying me though, and the cellar and car (although I have got some good pointers from another thread and the car won't be moving).
Any and all advice is welcomed.
