LIGHTING TECHNIQUE

Lighting within films is typically used to create an emotion from the audience, foreshadow what might come, and set the tone of whats happening. 

My partner and I decided in our meetings that we would use as minimal light as possible in the scenes because we wanted to create a realistic effect for the audience .

Also by using minimal lighting, it does not give away too much of the surroundings and therefore doesn't spoil the plot for what would be the rest of the movie. We used mostly natural light, which made the scene  look more realistic and also relatable for the audience.  The only non-natural light that was used was a torch light, which served the purpose of illuminating the face of the protagonist in order to show her facial expressions.

This lighting in this show is similar to the one in my thriller opening, in the sense that lighting is very minimal and only used to show the facial expression of the character. This sort of lighting causes suspense as the darkness makes it looks eerie. Similar to this, our thriller opening creates a sense of nervousness and anxiousness as the audience are never completely aware of what could happen next.
