Lighting and colour research - Powder Paint Fight

Lighting was probably one of the most important aspects we needed to consider when shooting our powder paint sequence as we decided that we would be shooting in the dark. We needed to make sure that it was bright enough to see the actors and paint but not to bright so that you could't tell it was dark.We spent alot of time discussing the different lighting we may have to consider and how easy it was to get flood light and generators down to our location. All of us had a lot of ideas about the light from having two spotlights looking into the camera from behind the two lines of girls and boys so that it was just the silhouettes that showed up to having differnt colour lights really show off the different colours and moods. Eventually we came to the decision that this may not be thast easy to do and affordable. We then thoguht we should go to our location to see how much room we had and how much light we needed. We took the white spotlight with us that attaches to the camera and realised that this was bright enough and we didn't need any other lights. We chose to use the white spotlight and not a coloured one becasue the paint colour will be more distictive.
