What is the best way to light to recreate the look of 70's blaxploitation films like "Shaft" "Superfly" or more recently "Black Dynamite." I am shooting a student thesis with that look in mind on 16mm. The lens the school provides us are older Zeiss SuperSpeeds (not in the best condition) which we tested and their flaws/age really help for the look we want. In terms of lighting I've been watching a lot of those movies and notice they use what seems to be a lot of point source lights. I was thinking of using a series of fresnels (2ks, 1ks, and 650s) and putting them through frames of 250 to take a little off while using harsh open faces for highlights or night scenes. I don't know if I should scratch the idea of using diffusion. Those film do have pronounced shadows but I wouldn't say they are super hard like a 1950's noir. So I figured 250 would be the best to use.
