LIGHTS, camera, action...

We then had to think about the types of colours we wanted in our film and how we would use lighting and different effects to get this across. We decided, after looking at other romantic/girly films, that we wanted to try and use pinks and warmer shades when inside at the beginning. To show the difference between the clips we, we wanted to very much contrast the outside section by making the colours more harsh and 'whiter' in order to show the difference. We also thought that if we used the pink colours at the beginning and made everything warmer then it would look more like a dream/ flashback which it is and then to juxtapose it with the following scene I think it would make everything in this clip more 'real'.

We had only one issue with lighting when we went to film in that it was set at nighttime and, due to late trains and hungry stomachs, we didn't have time to film in the evening so ended up filming the next day. Obviously this meant that we had the natural light coming in from the window making everything seem more unrealistic and just didn't make for good continuity. To overcome this we decided that we would have to put up black up blinds over the windows and, although this didn't work perfectly, it was a lot better than before and because of the lightbox we used made us able to achieve what looked like a realistic example of an evening situation.
