Lighting

The lighting was the most difficult issue to overcome whilst shooting by far. As this was the first time we had used lighting in a film much of out approach was based on trial and error. We used grease-proof paper on the Dedo's to diffuse the spotlight effect but sometimes this was still not enough to negate obvious shadows.

Maintaining consistant well-lit shots that looked natural was difficult and In some instances we did not get the shots we hoped to achieve, and whilst some issues could be amended with colour correction others had to be abandoned. We also aimed to give the audience a full insight into Martins routine which would require shots that appear to be night time. This shot was particularly successful in creating the illusion that it was taken late at night when in reality it was shot in the middle of a sunny afternoon.
