This video below has been in my favourites on youtube for a long time, and now I have got a chance to apply it to my own work (group film) It shows a few very basic lighting techniques that you can pull off with the tiniest, if not zero budget. The results are outstanding and I feel that it fits our Short Film 'Scrap' very well. The look we want in the robots house is very minimal and muted. We only want to have light coming from the TV and a single light hanging from the ceiling so I don't think we will be using more than 2 lights in total.
The lighting setup above isn't all what we are looking to achieve. When our character is sitting on his sofa, all that is behind him is a blank wall no all light will be coming from the from of him. I think what will work will be having an actual tv setup to get the light coming from that to light up our character, and one light high angled down to replicate the main room light but on a very low setting. At this stage of our short film, these are only guesses and suggestions so when we get back to the drawing board we can start actually testing some lights out and seeing what gives us the best look
