Today we finished writing up a filming schedule for Sunday. I converted the files and dragged them all into Final Cut Pro ready for editing. I also set up the logging on word.

Lighting

If the Key Light is too strong for the object. A reflector such as a mirrored cardboard or simply a white cardboard, could be used to bounce the light which is shining away from the object to the object with a softer light.
