Mice-en-scene: Lighting

Lighting

 Hello! Now that we discussed the character development within our film opening, we need to talk about mice-en-scene. I decided to split the mice-en-scene into two post with this one focusing on the lighting we will be using within our opening.

In the beginning of the opening, I plan to use high-key lighting. We decided to do this to show how comfortable the two friends are, unaware of what is to come. But, it won't stay like this for long... As the opening moves on we plan on decreasing the intensity of the lighting all the way untill it becomes low-key.

The opening will be primarily shot in low-key lighting as it is essential within the thriller genre. Low-key lighting allows us to create tension and suspense throughout the whole opening. We can create figures within in the shadows and make the opening feel somewhat scary. Low-key lighting also creates uncertainty within the audience which is a feeling I want to evoke because I dont want them to know what comes next.

The type of feeling I want to evoke:
