Minus the small LED's that are available I have decided to research some more forms of portable lighting and find out how much they would be to hire or buy. I will be looking mostly at their brightness and battery life.
To Buy Option:
This is small but a relatively strong light considering its size and lasts 4 hours which is a long enough time to find it useful on set. Its small size also means its a good size to put in a car with the other equipment. An all round good choice considering the price tag. Buying the light also means we can use if if we need to take any shots again at a later date or decide we need it for another part of the project completely.
To Rent Option:
This very small LED is meant to add a nice amount but small amount of light to a shot. Although it is super portable and would be good for our shoot in the sense that it would not over light or add too much of a flood, but could instead be used for precise highlighting, the battery life is too short as 1 hour is no where near enough time for one shoot. Also looking at the prices this is the more expensive option, £20 for the day is more expensive than buying the previous light and any this means any reshoots would be even more pricey.
The third option is to look for a generator to power a larger light we already have access too, this is something I will most likely be doing if I can source a generator inside the university.
