As part of our 3 minute opening to our horror film, Lighting will be a big factor in how the audience percieve the characters and scene and helps express the mood and atmosphere within the scene. As part of our horror film we are filming in a dark garage with minimal lighting to show something bad might happen and also we are using minimal lighting because this is usually used in horror films to show that the scene is in a dark and secluded area. However we are contrasting the lighting as we are also showing the characters being outside which shows that the character isn't in any danger and that the lighting outside will reflect the mood within the scene.
The use of lighting in horror films is used to create fear or uncertainess, the most common use of light in horror films is darkness, directors make sure that darkness is always related in horror films because it is assumed that darkness is the most common fear within people and this helps create a effect within the audience watching to make them feel like the film is in the 'unknown' and that anything might happen.
Low-key lighting
Low key lighting is usually used in horror/thrilling films, this is because it is the use of black light. The use of this lighting is used to represent a darker and an 'unkown' atmosphere. It will produce a sharper contrast of light in darker areas on screen in order to develop deep shadows and silouehette formations.
