Very true! Will definitely keep that in mind and add some negative fill. Thank you for the help!
Thank you so much for the example and screenshots!
Attached is a picture from my phone of the room I’ll be filming in. The subject will be lying on the right side of the bed, next to the lamp on the nightstand. I’m wanting the lamp to feel bright so that the rest of the room feels dark and fades into blackness. This might need to be achieved in post, but I’d like to try to get it in camera, if possible. The lamp will be the only light source in the room. I’ll be shooting on a Red Komodo OG with a contax zeiss 28mm at f/2.8. I’ll be shooting at ISO 400, since in my tests 800 is quite noisy in the shadows.
