Lighting
Frezzi Minifill 12v Light with Batteries and Charger
I think this added 10kg to my baggage but it was worth it. The main reason was there was no electricity where we would be filming. I used the light for special lighting effects in some reenactments at night and for filling in shadows in a few daytime interviews. An example of using this light for a night reenactment can be seen in the teaser at 0:21 and 0:32.Diffusion Gel and Daylight Correction Gel
I didn't know if I would use this and in the end I didn't (primarily as the minifill had a glass daylight correction filter you use). I had an idea of possibly using it over windows to make light softer, etc but in the end this never eventuated. Ambient daylight was used for almost all interview shots.TIP - Easy night (blue) looking shots.
Here is an easy way to get a night (blue) looking shot whilst using a tungsten light and some daylight correction gel / filter. Quite simple but always effective, just put you daylight correction filter over your tungsten light source. Then film using your standard tungsten 3.2K white balance setting and you will get a nice blue moon looking lighting. There are many ways you can experiment with your white balance for your look, but on the fly this is an easy way to get good results. In post production I then pushed the white balance over to green to get a more eerie effect which can be seen in the excerpt mentioned in the Frezzi Minifill section.White pieces of cardboard
With no electricity where would be filming this was one option I thought of for being creative with getting reflections from the sun. In the end I didn't end up using these either.
