It is very difficult to plan lighting for this sequence because we plan to film during the daytime, and the majority of it outside.

| Photosen Light Refelctor |
However, we cannot plan around the weather, and we may need to boost the lighting if it's a gloomy day. A Photosen Light Refelctor would probably be the best solution to this problem, due to the fact that using a LED light in a daytime setting would feel staged and man-made, something that we don't need for a film that we want to be as relatable as possible for the audience. The reflector works by reflecting the natural light of a location that can be aimed onto the focus of the camera when it's close to the subject. Also, it is extremely compact, which is incredibly useful when transporting equipment to a shoot.
As we plan to create a sequence that is naturalistic in style, we must treat the image as something that the audience could see with their naked eye. This means we must not apply any colour gradient changes in post-production because it gives the impression to the audience that what they are viewing is not true to life, and something that happens often in our liberal society.

The white balance is set incorrectly on the left,
hence the blue tinge |
Finally, we must remember the importance of setting the white balance every time we shoot in a location with different lighting. If we don't do this, our visuals run the risk of being off-colour in post-production (as shown to the left) and it would mean we'd have to reshoot.
Overall, we don't have to worry too much about lighting, but it is the use of simple techniques and equipment that will mean that the shooting of our film will run smoothly, making it easy for us to edit.
