Filming: Narrative Pick Up Shots

After uploading the Narrative footage onto iMovie, we found that the lighting was too dark, that you could only make out silhouettes of people and furniture. This was odd, as the footage film appeared fine on the camera screen. Therefore, we had to film pick-up shots today. We made extra precautions that this problem wouldn't happen again and over-exposed everything (as our teacher said, you can always make things look darker on the computer, but it's harder to make it look lighter). Because we filmed this after school again, and the winter season meant the sun set early, and we were indoors, natural lighting was difficult. So we made a lighting set that we could control, by closing the curtains and turning the main lights on, therefore distributing light evenly. We also set the camera on a night time mode and Light mode, which meant that everything would appear brighter.
