Lighting

     Hi guys! Today, I would like to talk about the lighting in my film! My film is a horror film so the lighting should be dark and scary and not happy and bright. Our film consists of low key and natural lighting as we filmed in the dark and in Tati's house. We choose this style of lighting because natural lighting created a sense of something natural, something that would happen in everyday life. The natural light occurs when everything is calm. However we switch to a low key lighting when we recorded in the bedroom. We turned off all the lights and we then recorded. This created an eerie mood as anything could happen in the dark. 

    Not to get your hopes up, but Tati and I did not use 3 point lighting... Unfortunately, Tati and I did not have the equipment to use 3 point lighting. I think having 3 point lighting would have added to the mood of the film a little bit, but I do not think it would have made a big difference, which is why Tati and I did not invest in more lights. I think our natural and low key lighting adds enough suspense to the film. Also we did not need any light in the dark while filming since our phone cameras were still able to see the characters in the camera, I truly think the darkness ADDS to the overall mood of the film.
