I have this project for school, to make a small advertisement. I have nearly everything planned out, except for a small detail.

I chose to make a movie, in this movie you are at the doorstep of a building, and there is a table near the back wall (the point of interest). The viewer will then get closer to the table where the product is.
I have pictured the building, and i know that the lighting conditions i want are impossible, so i thought i could add that (and some other characteristics) in the computer.
And then i reached my dilemma. I can either take a picture of the inside of the building (high-def) and add what i want, and then zoom and make an animation. Or i can make a movie like it should be in the final version, and add the effects in the movie.

My problem is that i'm not sure if i can add the lighting conditions (and maybe an element to the environment) in a movie, without doing it frame by frame.

So i ask for your thoughts, should i make an animation, and then export to .mov, or make a movie and somehow add what i want. If you could guide me through the movie option (if you think that one is the best) it would be awesome. I have access to nearly all movie editing softwares (some friends have them)

Thank you for your help
