Filming in natural light + lighting overall
- Hollywood beauty lighting - A bounce as a second source (fill in shadows) - Or a large diffusion can even coverage
- Harsh day light - high contrast ratio (negative feeling) - sun as hard light (mid day) - negative fill to darken shadows more
- Orange daylight - (warm nostalgic) - change white balance of camera to something cooler like 7000 kelvin (this will warm up whole frame however) could use tungsten lights
- Grey daylight - cloud is natural diffusion - gloom + doom - or huge diffusion above scene out of frame, covering everything in your scene

- Bouncing light, bigger the area of bounce the softer the light - can then diffuse bounced light - to control spill - flagging light
- flagging light - blocking light with flags + black solid for negative fill
- skirting light - more directional - e.g. black cloth around light (china ball lights are easy to skirt
- black wrap - can fix any light leaks
- breaking up light - can cut shapes into cardboard, could use tree branches

Cinematography at night
Light onto Ultra bounce onto full grid - diffusion gets rid of artificial feel
Soft bounce for fill for exposure
ULTRA BOUNCE: hard light
BEADBOARD: soft light
Practicals (lights u can see in the frame) + moonlight - motivated lighting
Practical illumination - no diffusion = harsher beams of light - distance from blinds/ shutters on a window = harder shadows
