How to make old b&w movie styled lighting techniques with everyday home materials?
I'm making a music video for a school project, and I wanted to know how to make it appear old fashioned like, like the old 1950s Hollywood movies, with different lighting. But I am using a digital camera and I don't have any professional lighting equipment.
Could you please give me some tips on making my video seem more like the old movies? Thanks.
A lot of the 'vintage' look comes from the film ageing in the 60 years since it was taken, the lighting techniques used then are the same as used today.
Google 'Rembrandt Lighting' and 'Oyster' also called 'Paramount' and 'Butterfly Lighting', very popular in the 1950's, and since.
