Both lighting and colour correction are used to manipulate the atmosphere and basic apparel of a shot, which is what we need to represent a difference in temporal setting, i.e: Party - The next morning. For our narrative, we got lucky with the weather, being a noticeably bright day, so the use of sunlight gave a more authentic morning feeling. For the party shots, we had to block off all extraneous light sources and use only floods with red gel filters. However, we felt that this wasn't enough, so we used colour correction to increase the redness and saturation of each party shot.
We also plan to do the same with our second performance, as all we have are strong white lights and nothing else, however I don't expect it will be so heavy, as we don't want to give the impression that it is within the same time as the narrative's flashbacks. I don't think we will use colour correction on the first performance shot, as the sunlight along with the flood light in the background creates a nice light toned atmosphere. If we do use colour correction, it will be to decrease saturation and/or increase whites.
Lighting in the second performance was a little more focused around eliminating all shadows upon ourselves, and using every light at our disposal to point at mine and Jack's face.
