Cheers for the replies,
Yes it is a narrative film so the headlights sound like a good idea since it is supposed to be a horror film. My concern was the same as yours that the lighting might be too concentrated if I use headlights but the bounce boards should solve that (My school should have a few I can use). I’ll be filming at a campground and the grounds are all unpowered. I have an inverter for the cigarette lighter in my car so I may be able to run a couple of low power lights, I’ll test it in the coming nights and figure it out. Also could you give me any examples of lenses with a higher aperture? Is it even better if the aperture is higher than you have suggested? There are heaps of places in Melbourne that offer lenses for rental for like $10 a week so that’s not an issue.
Cheers again for the help!
