Lighting + Set: Mis-En-Scene 1

 

In an older blog I discussed location scouting and finding a perfect gas station for my film opening, here is my teams vision for our set and how we are going to light it. 

Set:

Our set is "Tom's Thumb" food store and gas station, a location I scouted a few weeks ago. Half of our film opening will take place inside the store while the other half will take place outside. To ensure that we can film we visited the store and asked the employees for permission. 


Lighting: 

For our film opening, our team plans to use cool coloring to establish the tone, mood, and setting. Our primary color will be a washed-out blue, as it symbolizes sadness and depression. However, for the outdoor scene set during dusk or sunset, the color palette will shift to warmer tones. It will incorporate pinks, violets, and oranges. This shift in coloring will represent the contrast between the character’s feelings of depression and her sense of awe for the planet above her.

The lighting will complement these colors, enhancing the overall development of the film’s opening.
