Blog Post 10- Lighting Research

 After extensive research i have came to the conclusion that i need to use alot of natural lighting to create a sense of normaility and show that thing like this are extremley normal and not out of the ordinary

Natural lighting is mostly known as daylight in normal enviroments, it is simply the light that comes from the sun and the sky without changing much. Natural lighting makes it easier to not have to produce or take away any lighting during filming. An easier way to explain it is that if you were to turn off all the lightsd in your house there would still be lights from the windows coming from the sun. Throughtput the day this changes profusely from sunlight to sunset. Natural lighting is more free and not complex which will work perfectly for my documentary. Having more direct and forced light can be more harsh, but going with natural is way more soft and will create a better atmosphere. 

This can benefit my documentary in many ways, one being that the light is simple and soft and not complex and harsh, it gives the actors a more realistic look and can make the audience feel more connected. It can make the scene feel authentic and give that deeper meaning that things like this really happen. It also can make it easier on finance because it can cost less to use natural lighting because i would have to purchase more lights and it would be so much more work to hire people to hold the lights and edit to make sure everything went smoothly.
