LIGHTING - Artemis

• We have decided for the most part that we want to work with the natural light in each setting, however this could cause silhouettes so we are going to use portable lighting . In the main hall area, there are quite a few windows and its very spacious so it should be quite bright. 
• We may need to use a bit of lighting when it becomes dark because even though we want the darkness to represent the bad news ahead and create a solemn atmosphere we still need to see the action!
• For the attic scene we do need to use lighting because there is much of a light source so a big torch or maybe even a red head. We will use a diffuser as well to ensure it all looks natural. 

One of the films we are looking too for ideas was Atonement. We like how the lighting is quite bright and a bit de-saturated. It creates a sense of realism and matches with the time period and costumes etc. This picture below is the kind of light and airy ambiance we want to create for the daytime scenes before Benjamin goes to the hospital. 
The image above is the kind of low lighting we like. It highlights the female character and expression because the light hits her face just slightly and the male character is standing in the shadowy background. We were thinking about doing this for when Myrtle finds out Benjamin has died. The scene will still be dark but at the same time enable the audience to focus on her emotion.
