Lighting

I do not think anyone in my group owns a camera, but despite this challenge, I think lighting will be something that we will be able to capture the way we want using the resources on the iPhone. 

In the beginning of our production when we are outside, we will do a couple shots of the same scene on different directions of the sun to see what we like better. 

In this example, by sliding my finger up or down, this will be able to adjust and work with the lighting. When we are filming the soccer scenes outside, I think the lighting should be bright. This can symbolize the happiness that our main character has when he is playing his soccer and that it brightens up his day.

When the opening transitions inside the house, I think the lighting should be a little darker and not involve the natural light as much. Instead, it could feature lights inside the house, but not as many light coming from the sun through windows. The reason for this is to illustrate the way that the family is. The parents are very closed off and do not support their son playing soccer which is an outside sport. Therefore, by having indoor lights instead of sunlights coming through windows, it will be able to showcase this by making it seem like the parents like to keep themselves very closed in.

Another aspect to the lighting which we mentioned would be important from the beginning is when our main character goes into his room we would like it to be darkest lighting of all the scenes. In order to do this we may have to close the window blinds or film during nigh time for this. We want really dark lighting for that scene because it will illustrate how the character is at his lowest point he feels like. 

Overall we should be able to handle the lighting challenges well and also assure that every lighting choice does have meaning.
