This will give your shot a moody, mysterious bluish tint, creating the appearance of a moonlit scene.

The coordination and timing are feats in and of themselves, so nailing the lighting and the camerawork is just\u00a0an additional frustration. When lighting a party scene, consider using gels you can<strong> quickly turn around for an added sense of flash<\/strong> and unpredictability. Once you&#8217;ve figured out the appropriately contrasted colors to work with,\u00a0coordinate with your crew to figure how how they can adjust the lights however you see fit.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-sunsets\">3.
