Major Pre-Production: Cinematography Research - Bokeh 2

   More research has been done into the technique Bokeh. My research has discovered that lighting is more important than I first thought with creating Bokeh. There has to be an amount of light in the distance, lights such as street lights, car lights, fairy lights etc. This helps create the circle effect that is present in some Bokeh shots (Refer back to previous blog for examples). This tutorial video below is a tutorial on how to light up a Bokeh shot. This tutorial focuses on how to light Bokeh for Photography, but these techniques can be used in filming as well.

   It is important for me to look at this and take notes as I want to create the best possible look of Bokeh I can for the film. As I am aiming for a high quality finished image, lighting it clearly is key to ensure this of happening.
