Lighting Practise

This week we did another practical practise session, this time looking at how to light a scene. This was extremely helpful as it gave us loads of useful information which we need for our actual shoots. The main thing we noticed was the battery life of the lights, its very short. As we were the second group to use them, the first group was using them for around 20 minutes, they ran out for us after around 15 minutes. This means that you only really have half an hour to use them, before you have to charge them again which could take around an hour. We need to be aware of this when filming as it would be awful if we are on location and one of the lights that we need runs out.
