Lighting Designer Meeting

The lighting designer went through our ideas with us and give us more of an indication into the logistics of our ideas and how it will work on the shooting day when we have to sort out lighting within each set.

Water element - He said that he thought that the water element would work well with the right lightings and that is would give a good effect which is what we wanted. He said that we will need to use different variations of blue lighting with hints of white light to be directed from above and then some darker toned blues to be lit from below to give the illusion of depth. He said that we should go with having a white light from above to create the effect of sunlight, he also gave us the idea that we should use a gobo which is like a stencil that goes over the light source to give a desired pattern, which we will use to make it look like the refraction of light on the surface as it goes through the water.

For examples of the water effect given by the gobo, we would like an effect that looks quite like the images below.


Woods - the lighting designer said we didn't really need very complex lighting for the woods as it is a pure theme and we will actually be filming in a natural environment so we don't need many effects. He said that we should need red-heads and blondies to give a more professional look to the setting and have a little more control over the set. When we get to the set and know what the weather is we can adapt our lighting around that as if it is sunny we can use that to our advantage and use the sunlight through the trees to give the ambient lighting but we can improvise more if we don't have that light on the day. 

Contrasting - for the contrasting element as we didn't want o have a completely UV and out of the blue theme, we will just increase the UV light among other lighting in the studio set to give more intense blues and bring more attention to the white in the dress. The kind of effect of the intense blue lighting will be like the image below. We hope to create more of a glow rather than a completely contrasting image.
