Filming In Low Level Light

Half of my music video will be shot at night time, by a campfire, so i have to make sure the lighting is right so you can still see whats happening. Some techniques i will use are:

Bounce boards - These Are large White boards, that i will place just out oof the frame of the camera, so they will reflect the lights given off from the fire back onto the actors, this gives a nice natural glow on their faces, so it doesnt look too artificial. Another piece of harware that will make a significant difference is a camera with a large sensor - this allows it to take in  more light ion the picture.

When i am filming the chase scenes,  i will need to use a portable LED light strip, with very powerful LEDs, however, LED lights often look very artificial, so i will balance it out with some yellow lights, to give it a more natural feel. I can also wait for a night when the moon is really bright, and use that light as a natural advantage.

Another technique i can use is, put some cold LED lights on one side of an actor, so it looks like moon light is shining, then on their other side have the natural yellow campfire light reflecting on them, this mix of cold and warm lighting looks quite interesting, and has an eerie feel to it. In the middle where they meet you can sometimes get a purplish glow, which would work well with my video because its called purple epidemic.

Here is a music video that shows two different teqniques of filming in low level light

My problem was that i didn't have any lights i put up behind the scenes, so i had to turn the ISO up really high on my camera, in effect this causes the image to be really grainy, and not so good quality.
