and horror films to represent a darker atmosphere, which is scary or
mysterious. It will produce a sharper contrast of light in darker areas
on screen in order to develop deep shadows and silhouettes
formations.

the subject to appear more realistic. The advantage to high-key
lighting is that it doesn't require alteration for each scene. However

parts more significant than others. It can be used to show scenery
such as a sunny day or mood such as in love.

good example is from Nosferatu.

unease.

Sound track from Jaws
Flash-Backs

already happened. This is usually in one of the characters heads.
Click on the video to see an
Example of a flash back from
The Bourne Identity.
Black and White
• Many films use only Black and White in their opening credits. This is
done for various different reasons.
These are examples from various
different films that use black and
white for their credits.
