Lighting Decisions

For the day time we will use a small amount of borrowed light for the darker areas. Will will be using a natural Gel (straw). for the evening/night time scene, the actors will be sitting around a fire. This by its self may not create a sufficient amount of lighting and so we will use a very dim orange/red to light the characters faces. Within the shots set at night, e.g. in the tent of in the woods we are going to use a ice blue gel as this creates a sense of cold and tension. During the scene where one of the teenagers is tied to the tree we are going to use dim front lighting on him so that we can see the details on his face. The 'soldier' will be back lit to create almost a silhouette like effect - this will make him seem frightening and suspicious to the audience as we cannot tell a lot about the character.
