NIght Shoot

For the last scene in my film I wanted to have it shot at night, to increase the tension. However after deciding this, several problems arose. Mainly how would I light the scene? The only way I could think of was to use torches, however this would require many powerful torches and even then they are not ideal as they project rings of light. I came to the conclusion that I would shoot during the day when it is overcast and use a technique called 'Day for Night'. What prompted this was me watching an episode of the internet film making show called Film Riot, in this particular episode they covered how to shoot day for night. Even though this seems simple enough, the time of year makes it difficult to find daylight as the sun goes down before 5 O'clock. Making it very difficult to film outside of school.
