Re: Cheap Indie Lighting: High School Classroom/Hallway/Washrooms

The stock I'm looking at shooting on are Kodak Vision3 500T 7219 colour negative...i'm also looking at higher ASA speeds to play with the exposure ie - Kodak Vision 800T 7289 colour neg.

I'm using a 16mm bolex with option of a wide, medium, and telephoto lens. I could probably rent others if you have sugestions.

My 3 points kit comes with 2 650s and a 1k.

My action takes places in 4 locals: a classroom of children running around with a few close-ups and tracking shots. The hallways is for tracking from a medium/long shot, washroom has all types of shots from closeup to long and outside i want to be overexposed, so obviously don't need anything but our natural sun to light it.

The classroom has big rectangular windows looking outside. The hallway (at one end) has a window looking out - the hallway is illuminated with soften florecent fixtures. I can't remember if the washroom has translucent windows or no natural light.

Again, I could probably purchase/rent other equipment.

The film has two settings: One is a natural (not exactly documentary, since it is staged - rather in the moment following the events that occur) and then there is a more dream like staight (our main character goes into a dream sequence).

You rock for taking the time to respond!
