Hi, I'm filming a movie which is shot blair-witch/cloverfield style in the woods. This means I won't be cutting very often, and will always be on the move. My camera is pretty good in the dark, but at night in the woods I can barely pick up anything with my camera. I can jack up the gain and slow the shutter speed on the camera to make the image clearer, but by the time I get the visibility perfect, the quality is just horrible.
I've considered two options: a mountable camera light, or a few flashlights. The camera light sounds perfect, but I wan't to hear an opinion on them, since $150 for a little LED light seems a little overpriced, and probably wont produce that much light
Is there any DIY tricks like putting filters over the flashlight so it's not too intense, or mounting a flashlight onto the camera?
