Lighting is a key technical element in film that helps tell the story visually. The document outlines a lighting plan that uses natural lighting and bulbs to achieve three main purposes: clarity of image so viewers can see important elements, emotional impact through how light is used, and an attempt to make the film seem like a real life situation through mainly low key lighting to attract the target suspense/mystery audience.
Location Research and Reconnaissance
The document discusses common locations for supernatural horror films, which typically take place in isolated settings like old houses where escape is difficult. It provides an example of Lucio Fulci's film The Beyond, which is set in a run-down, isolated hotel built on a gateway to hell. The author then explains they have chosen an abandoned school as the setting for their own supernatural horror film due to its many dark locations suitable for promotional materials like trailers, magazine covers, and posters.
The Conjuring Textual Analysis
This document analyzes the opening title sequence of the film "The Conjuring" through its use of camera work, editing, sound, and mise-en-scene. It notes that the camera remains fixed on an overhead projector, allowing the audience to focus on disturbing images. Editing techniques like superimposition and fading are used to startle viewers and set a dark, gloomy tone. Unsettling sounds accompany the images, while the mise-en-scene of an old, creepy house with vintage costumes and frightening newspaper headlines further establishes the frightening atmosphere.
Lighting plan
This lighting plan for a horror movie uses low lighting and darkness to create tension, suspense, and a horror effect by controlling what is revealed about the surroundings and characters. Bright lighting and shooting in bright colors would not achieve the intended horror effect, so the plan keeps the background dull and uses low lighting to set the dark, tense tone and mood for the film.
Lighting plan
Low-key lighting is mainly used in horror films to create tension through dim, shadowy scenarios that reveal characters and surroundings in a mysterious, dark atmosphere. The document discusses how low-key lighting sets the tone and mood for danger by keeping backgrounds dark and dim. It also explains that the filmmaker used natural low-key lighting by blocking light on one side to create a feeling of fear and suspense as a witch haunts the main character, enhancing the tension and suspense throughout the film.
Location
The document discusses horror film locations and why the author chose their location. The Blair Witch Project was filmed in woodland areas which can invoke a shared fear of forests. Friday the 13th was set in a forest surrounded by open fields to create a sense of isolation and insignificance. The author chose to set their opening sequence in a dark woodland area with dim lighting to generate tension and unease in the audience about what may happen due to the limited visibility.
Role of light in Photo Composition
Light plays an essential role in composition for both photography and videography. Understanding light and how to use shadows is important, as they go hand in hand. Different lighting conditions like time of day, positioning of the light source, and use of natural versus artificial lighting can impact contrasts and tones to add drama or reveal texture. Shadows should not be neglected and can be used to enhance the subject and create a sense of depth when layered with light.

This lighting plan discusses using low-key lighting for a horror film to create tension, mystery, and fear. Low-key lighting produces dim shadows that set the dark and ominous tone needed for horror by revealing characters and surroundings in a controlled way through shadows and dull backgrounds. The document explains that a torch light was used to generate shadows, and low-key lighting throughout the film builds tension as a ghost spies on the main character, Lucas.

Lighting
Lighting is an important technical element in film and media that helps convey genre and mood to viewers. Different lighting setups, such as low-key lighting for suspense and high-key lighting for comedy, elicit different emotional responses from audiences. A director can use mixtures of lighting within a single scene to portray changing moods and feelings over time. In film production, the use of lighting is crucial to engaging audiences and achieving profitability by effectively setting the genre and tone.
Evaluation
The document discusses how the weather impacted the filming of a movie. Originally, dull but sunny weather was planned to create a light but troubled mood. However, on the day of filming the weather became dull and drizzly, greatly changing the atmosphere to be more gloomy and suggesting a more sinister theme. The natural lighting used added a dark, noisy effect that furthered the sinister and mysterious tone by making some objects unclear and suggesting something sinister was hiding in the shadows.
Creative Critical Reflection

Lighting plan
Lighting is one of the most influential elements of mise-en-scene in film and can be used to evoke emotions or manipulate viewer attitudes. There are two main types of lighting: high key lighting, which has little dramatic effect and is often used in upbeat scenes; and low key lighting, which comprises both bright and dark areas and is typically used in tense scenes to add emotion or tension. Psychological thrillers tend to use low key lighting throughout, as seen in the film Black Swan, which the author references. For their short film, the author has used low key lighting except for one scene, and concludes they have effectively used both low key and natural lighting.

Lighting booklet
Lighting in film serves both a functional purpose of illuminating the scene, as well as an artistic purpose of conveying meaning and influencing the audience. Common lighting techniques include high key lighting which exposes details, and low key lighting which creates shadows and suspense through lacking visual information. Classic Hollywood used a three point lighting system with a key light, back light, and fill light to create a flattering image. Additional elements of lighting that filmmakers manipulate include the quality, direction, source, and color of the light, each of which can radically alter the mood and meaning of a scene.

Props include bed sheets, shovel, plastic knife, and ketchup to represent blood. Costumes include an all-black outfit for the mysterious man and business-casual clothes for the victim
Mise-en-scene Note
Mise-en-scene refers to everything that appears before the camera and is made up of 5 elements: settings, props, costumes, lighting, and positioning of characters/objects. Settings play a vital role and locations are chosen to add meaning. Costumes indicate time period and culture while reflecting character traits. Lighting can be used to highlight subjects or convey emotions. Props are also an important part of mise-en-scene but too many can confuse audiences. Cinematography incorporates camera angles, shots, and movements to tell the story.
Lighting plan
Lighting is a key element of film that can influence emotions and perceptions. There are two main types: high key lighting reduces shadows for a brighter look often used in comedies, while low key lighting uses mainly one light source and shadows to create a sense of alienation as seen in film noir. For the film Awestruck, the director used high key lighting outdoors with sunlight and low key lighting indoors at night to establish realistic settings that fit the scenes.
Progression Since Preliminary Task
The document discusses the author's progression from the preliminary task to the final film project. In the preliminary task, the author's skills in editing, camera work, sound design, and use of mise-en-scene were more limited. However, for the final film, the author gained experience that allowed for improvements in interesting camera angles, subtle audio layering, continuity, set design, costume design, use of props, lighting techniques, and cinematography. The extensive reworking of drafts also improved the overall quality and coherence of the final film compared to the preliminary task.

Lighting plan
Lighting is a key technical element in film that helps tell the story visually. The document outlines a lighting plan that uses natural lighting and bulbs to achieve a low-key lighting style typically seen in suspense and mystery films. The goal is to make the scenes feel realistic and attract the target audience. Lighting serves three main purposes - providing a clear image so viewers can see important elements like facial expressions, creating an emotional impact, and being an important part of the visual design of cinema.

Mienscene note 2
I chose an office building location to create a doctor's office atmosphere that was quiet with busy working people to avoid distractions. I used high key and low key lighting and my video location relates to those in suspense/mystery movies. I dressed the assistant casually and gave the doctor a lab coat for identification and dressed the detective seriously to portray his profession.
