LIGHTING

Hello bloggers! today in class have been searching about the type of lighting that normally have a horror movie, here is my research, and also I will explain what type of lighting we want for our film.


HORROR FILM LIGHTING:

In a horror film, the first thing it need to get that scary atmosphere is darkness.
For horror lighting, you want harsh, violent lighting that can create thick shadows.
The use of lighting is an effective way of creating the mood/atmosphere within a scene as it can have further meaning dependent on its use. Fo example. "Chiaroscuro" lighting has been most commonly used during which the horror figure is first presented in the scene as it portrays ideas of isolation and fear as the face is not completely shown when such lighting is used. Such features can be combined with other forms of lighting such as low/high key lighting.


The lighting we want to use in our film, can be define as "Low key lighting", but the problem is, we have to record the shots at the day, at 4pm or 5pm, because we don't have all the profesional equipment we need, to be recording at the night, for example, when Blancas character is jogging. Obviously, we would put some effects in "iMovie" to get a more scary ambient to the film.
