Horror Lighting

The lighting that is used in any production is vitally important to creating an emotional response with the audience. Lighting can be used to highlight features on the faces of the actors or to hide props or pieces of set. But the most common and perhaps most important is the use of lighting to create mood and establish tone. For instance in horror movies such as my own the lighting is normally very dark to reveal less to the audience and thus make them afraid. However in comedies and romance the lighting is often very bright to create a feeling of warmth and openness. These techniques can be used to great affect in trailers because it immediately gives the audience a feeling of what the overall tone of the movie will be.

This is a standard lighting setup and one which I would like to replicate within my own film. Whilst I may lack the funding for the exact same lighting setup I will very much try to place my own lighting equipment in a similar layout to this.
