Lighting Research

Lighting a room evenly or in 'high key' normally uses three lights; a key light, a back light and a fill light. The key light lights the main area of the room as a kind of flooding light, normally placed in front of the set to cover most of the main objects. The back light comes from the area behind the shot to assure that any important elements near the back of the shot are also lit well. Finally a fill light is placed somewhere around the shot to fill any shadows that could make the light seem uneven and to assure the lighting is softer.
'Low Key' lighting is when there is high contrast between the light and shadowy areas, often used to make a shot appear more dramatic or to make the tone more sinister. I will not being using this kind of lighting for our project but it would normally use only a key light and sometimes a back light but never a fill light.
For lighting I am also looking at Gels and since our film contains a shot that is mainly seem to be lit by daylight from a window, I am looking into using a blue gel over at least one of the lights to make sure the light looks like normal daylight. I am also considering using a cool light instead of three red heads to ensure our lighting not to harsh and has a soft edge.
At the moment I am considering using a red head as a key light, the cool light as a back light and the red head with blue gel as a filler.
