Hello friends,

My next movie will be shot in the Golden Hour of evening. This is a thriller and is shot at the roof top of a high-rise building with only two men characters. I want to use the sun-flares and some silhouette.

Can someone kindly suggest what the best time to shoot is and also what extra light I must have?
Kindly suggest me some ideas friends.

Warm regards.

Hi Anirban

I would suggest you read this article and watch the video, while it talks about still images, the majority of the technique also applies to video.
