Another film I have been looking at simply because of its visual beauty is Bright Star, a period drama from 2009. We want to take inspiration particularly from the sequences in the garden of this film;
these frames in particular look aesthetically pleasing and use high key back lighting and great use of colour which we want to take inspiration from for our short film.
Obviously, this sort of filming will be challenging in January - but hopefully, with good timing and lighting we can overcome this!
I think you can certainly work with seasonal limitations - choose a bright day and then perhaps tint in post production? There are certainly ways around this. Can you make sure that you have considered the short film format in your research? This is all good for stylistic ideas, but you do need to have considered how you will work with the narrative constraints of a short film, and have looked at some that have similar themes if possible.
