I have two scenes I am shooting and was wondering the best way to do it. For one scene, it is out doors, and I was wondering the best way to achieve a moonlight look that doesn't look completely fake, and the other scene involves a character watching tv, so how would I be able to light the...

Mr Mullen, I was wondering how you would achieve the lighting effects in these images... I am assuming that a soft filter is being used here, but how do you light it to get those effects? Is there a certain way that will get the best results, or would you just light the shot normally...
