The picture on the left shows a light that my Dad owns (it is currently in the shed). I plan to use this for a couple of my shots as the trailer cuts to Wilhelmina (Emily) looking depressed, possibly directly at the camera. By placing this light on one side of her and pointing it near her the lighting will become very unusual and will intensify her emotions at that point in the trailer.
I am planning on mainly filming in the day so for exterior shots I will mostly be relying on natural light however if I feel it is really necessary and am able to then I will use this tall light. I will never keep it on for too long though (as it gets quite hot and the safety of the cast and crew comes first).
High-key lighting is often used in other drama trailers to give a natural glow to the actors and make everything look more normal and enhanced in terms of lighting. This can be achieved by bouncing a light off the ceiling. There is an incredibly short amount of these available at my school so realistically I will not be able to get hold of one. Instead, as I mentioned before I will rely on natural lighting and lights in my house if necessary. This may benefit my trailer as I will not have the danger of making a scene look artificial through lighting.
