I just wanted to get some ideas on how people go about lighting night scenes with the GH1 to avoid the FPN. I've attached a screengrab from a Turkish film called Milk. It's not an exceptional shot by any means, but i'd like to shoot a couple of scenes lit similar to this. The key light appears to be a 3/4 backlight, which illuminates the talent and the fence. Behind the fence is more or less total darkness. If I were to light something in a similar way and had my 3/4 backlit key light as maybe a 2k, (which I would darken down in post), would the dark area behind the fence be super noisy or have the FPN? (This particular film was shot on 35mm)
I can't do too much experimenting because I'm renting the lights for the shoot. I'm living very rural... so it's about 10 hours of driving if I were to rent some lights from the city test them, so your ideas would be much appreciated.
