Lighting
The lighting of my thriller opening will need to vary in
different places throughout to create different senses such as mystery and
fear, and light meaning safety. The darkness to create fear and mystery is
going to be in the copse shots were the suns light will be broken by trees and
leaves. However, if light is coming in through a wrong area where it looks out
of place, it may ruin that feeling so some light blocking may need to be used.
The idea of light I will use is the one where it means safety as the character
is going to be out in the open light so he looks safe but it is then contradicted
with a shadow slowly creeping up to extinguish the light to remove his apparent
“safety”. I will also try to incoprate ideas from expressionist cinema where sharp lines of shadow break up the scene. I could do this by using tree branches to create the sharp shadow effect.
The idea of shadow and darkness creating fear.
The idea of light creating a safe place.
Looking good on here Sam. Excellent time management.
