I am in the market for video lighting that can be used for indoor house shots mostly in an unfinished basement (wood framing). The ceilingwill be completely open and not shown in the shots so there is no issue having overhead lights if needed. Basically an all purpose lighting kit for filming human subjects. I am new to film all together but am liking examples I have seen with 3000k warm white light. The shots are horror like but realistic (not zombies) so would be darker than normal but I want to capture facial expressions and brief background props in detail. Basically looking for a kit that I cannot go wrong with. Willing to spend up to $3500 for a 3 pc kit. I saw a cool comparison video (http://nofilmschool.com/2016/04/led-lights-comparison-review-color-shootout) with the Arri Tungsten 1K Studio Fresnel looking the best for the price in my mind but am curious if it would be too bright, even with the ISO set to the lowest possibly some lens filters.
Also, is it typical for scenes to be shot with different powered lights? Sorry for all the beginner questions, I am new to film and haven't researched lighting until now.
