Lighting

    The next thing I want to consider for my project is the lighting. The things I need to consider are what time of day I want to film, the type of filters I want to use, and the extra lighting. 

   I definitely want to film it in the middle of the day around like 1pm when the sun is at its peak. I really want to make my film appear as natural as possible. I want it to just look like the audience is watching a friend group at the beach in real life rather than a fake or mythical look. 

  For the filtering, I want to use a warm toned filter on top of my film just to give it more of a golden undertone and give it a soft, sunny quality to the clips. For example, in the tv show Outer Banks, the creators put an orange brownish color undertone filter on top of the film to give it more of a sunny and "golden hour" kind of vibe. This really adds to the vibe of the tv show and makes it very pleasant to watch.

Here are some scenes from the show that show this filter very well:

   Moving along, I also need to consider addition lighting (like flashlights etc.). There is one scene I would like to use a flashlight that will be considered a prop in my film. When the girls find the item in the sand they pull a flashlight out to see it better when the low angle is present. This will show that the girls are looking at an unknown object.

   All of these lighting strategies are gonna ensure that my film is going to give the right impression with what vibe I am going for. All of them are gonna work together to create the overall vibe of my film!!
