  I'm sorry, yes I have access to normal film lighting. I was just asking what type of lighting would be best to use.

  In way of lighting I don't have any, that is why I'm asking so I would know about what I would need in way of lighting. The structure of the scene is:

  
  

  One truck: it's the vehicle that will cause the wreck

  The couple (Characters in the film) are walking down the road a drunk driver comes and hits the female killing her. The driver then wrecks on the other side of the road.

  Night shot: Two police cars will give the effect of the wreck, they will give off the police lights flashing. So they will have their car lights on so that will help out with some lighting.

  I can have other cars OS to give more light but I still run into the grain.

  I have a question about Lighting. I use the Canon HD HG20 to shoot a lot of my shorts and other events for people. My question is I'm working on a new short and I can get HD on my Day shots but when I shoot Night Shots it has a very grainy look. I use Cine mode and PF24 for the look of film. I know lighting has a lot to do with it and I was just wondering if anybody had any suggestions on lighting. The scene is a wreck I have police units the whole nine yards I'm wondering about what type of lighting needs to be done without making it look like a set? Thanks
