    John: Thanks alot for that input. I will definitely make use of that advice.

    I will shoot the wide shots during the late afternoon, the shots at night mostly range from loose medium shots to close-ups, I’m just concerned about creating enough depth within the frame. The field is bordered by some old broken down houses, this would create a nice backdrop, however it might be really difficult to light this with my light kit. So my question is, if I shoot day for night, will I still be able to create the film noir look? And if so, is there anything in particular I should look out for, or avoid doing?

    Much appreciated!

    Jason: Well there will be two police vehicles and a detective’s vehicle, all with lights

    Ok thanks guys!! That makes a whole lot of sense. I’ve just been required to downconvert from HD to SD while at Film School, this was in order to speed up the workflow in the edit suites. So I’ve been stuck in that mentality.
