So I have this certain shoot coming up...
It's going out of its way to make use of that "classic" Tarantino trunk shot. Inside, looking out.
_______
It's being shot on Super-8. (k40)
Camera inside the (dark) trunk shooting out and focusing on the two people outside (in the light).
I suck at exposures and contrast, etc. I do have a film-savvy DP coming along, but I'd like to know a little more about shooting this kind of thing in advance... so I don't sound like a total chucklehead when I talk to him.
Will I be needing any kind of artificial lighting inside the trunk to "equalise" the light with the outside?
Are there certain filters that I should have on hand for this?
Since k40 is a "daylight" film, should I be considering a different stock for this particular shot?
_______
Since this is being filmed in an alley (with walls) I'm aiming to do most the shooting when the sun is mostly overhead, when the shadows will be minimised. There will still be a huge light/dark contrast from the dark interior of a trunk, and the overhead sun though.
Thoughts?
