Blog #4: Set Lights

I was part of a scene for a film class and it was a scene in the morning of a dorm room. The orang-y lights were supposed to replicate a sunrise. Watching them go through all the options and different shades of orange they had amazed me. I never knew how much of a difference one shade lighter could be or one darker. To get the exact feeling the director wanted was this specific shade of orange and it took going through a bunch of different shades for her to figure that out. The shade she ended up picking is the one pictured and it had a nice mix and range of different shades in itself. There's some white, yellow, red, orange all mixed together creating this peaceful, serene atmosphere through the window replicating a beautiful morning sunrise. A sunrise that you wish would shine through your window every morning. I thought it was interesting that they chose to have light shining only from the right side of the window not throughout the entire window. I feel like that is more believable because normally when sun shines through your window it is normally coming from a specific direction and especially if it's rising it wouldn't have spread completely just yet. Overall, when they chose to do this lighting I quickly took a picture because I thought it would be a very interesting thing to discuss.
