EPISODE 90: WHY OUTSIDE LIGHTING RULES, ALWAYS

Have you ever been on location with complete white walls everywhere? If you cringe as your initial reaction you are not alone! What are we as cinematographer supposed to do with so much light bouncing everywhere in such locations? One of the best ways to combat the flatness of having to light white wall interiors is by lighting from the outside to set your room tone levels. By lighting from the outside (setting up your lamps outside to shoot into windows/door frames etc) you at least have a measurable way to set the room tone yourself as well as creating the contrast from hard light and soft light. When you can't light from the outside that means you need lights inside and the only way to fight the flatness of it is with a ton of grip, but if you don't have the resources or the budget you'll find that time and time again these types of projects really struggle to look as good as they could be.
