Lighting Practice

In preparation for filming, we did a small filming task to practice lighting techniques. The battery life of the lights was brought to our attention by the fact that the second group ran out of time to use them and had to re-charge. In all, the batteries only last around 20 minutes; a fact that I later carefully planned around on the first day of filming. However, in retrospect, this didn't matter much, as one of the lights quickly dimmed for some reason, and so, in the end, I hardly used the lights at all. As the rest of our film takes place outside, it seems that this task was the crux of our practical work with that side of film production.
