My friends and I are making a little homemade music video next weekend, and I've been researching various elements that are important for making a good videoI'm a total n00b, but I know that the lighting can either make a video good or terribleWe're doing the majority of shooting outside, and I read that reflecting the light back onto the subject is the most effective way to improve the lightingThe same article I read this from said that white poster board can work as an alternative to a legit reflectorThere's a cheap, small light reflector for about $15 online, but with shipping it'd be over $20 and I don't think I'm willing to spend that much for one music video (I'm a broke high-school student)Would poster board work?
Just type in brownies with black beans, hundreds of options pop upI thought I'd leave the selection up to youI saw one made with agave necar and unsweetened chocolate all the way to just using your favorite mix and adding a can of black beans, mashed, with nothing elseI didn't know which way you were leaningMy sister's friend made a batch using kidney beans, a weight watchers recipeShe said they were delicious and very moist.
You can make a larger reflector by stretching a white bed sheet over a frameAlso, you can glue aluminum foil to a sheet of cardboard (might be less expensive than white poster board)Leave the dull side of the foil out and crumple it to diffuse the light moreYou can also look for natural diffusers, like a white wallHope this helps.
