Lighting

  • Low Key lighting usually gives a very dark and dingy effect whivh exagerates the textures and shadows and gives a sense of mood to the shot. It can be used to create tension because it implies to the audience that the character is hiding something from them that they dont want them to know. Also implies that anything could happen, and creates tension because of the fear of the unknown of whats in the darkness. The shadows also can imply someone following the character, or you could only film the shadows so the audience can see the shadows movements, but not theyre faces, so keeps their identity a secret.
  • High Key Lighting is usually very light and free from shadows, which allows the audience to see everything in the shot, but is a bit too unatural which can put the audience on edge because usually implies the area is very clean and unpersonalised which can also be used to hid evidence or a character's identity.
  • We thought of using green lighting or put a green filter through a shot in editing because green is the colour of jealousy which is a key aspect of our film, and we want to get across the jealousy of Amie towards Tara.
