If you have the right colour correction gels then armed with a few of these you could in theory light your whole film. At about £10 each these little lights give out a fair amount of light considering their size and use tungsten balanced bulbs which means their colour temperature matches the expensive Arri equivalent. If you pop down to your local B&Q you’ll find these useful halogen work lights. This item is ridiculously obvious and cheap but the likelihood is that most of us low budget filmmakers probably don’t use them.or at least not yet. This, along with your gels is worth spending good money on. Cinefoil is one item you can’t afford to be without on set.
Gaffer and cinefoil = budget french flag. It can also be used to make DIY french flags to avoid lens flare and teamed up with some trusty cinefoil/blackwrap makes a perfectly functioning LCD cover for operating in bright sunlight. Sometimes you need to spend good money on kit and sometimes you don’t, but if you’re keen to increase production value economically then read on.Ī ridiculously obvious one but gaffer tape is something that should go with you on every shoot no matter how big or small your budget! It can save your life (in a creative emergency, I have yet to prove this medically!), whether it’s used to rig lights or modifiers onto unusually shaped objects or into areas that are inaccessible for light stands, gaffer tape really is essential. In this article however I’m going to identify 7 lighting essentials that don’t cost the earth but every low budget camera operator or DOP should be armed with. In fact, here are a list of reasons why good lighting is so important. No matter how low your budget is, lighting should never be neglected if you want to create cinematic visuals to be remembered. Where did it all go? Film making can be a seriously expensive affair and sadly certain departments sometimes get neglected as a result. So you’ve raised the finance for your project, chosen your camera, cast your actors.and you suddenly find that your budget has disappeared in a flash.
