notes on lighting
In our OTS it is essential that we use the correct lighting for each shot/scene so that it creates the right atmosphere for that moment in the OTS. For example, at the start of the OTS we used normal - high key lighting as it was a scene in a doctors room where nothing bad or creepy was happening so we did not want to use low-key lighting as it wouldn't of fitted the scene. Also during this scene we wanted to put the audience into a false sense of security so we used normal - high key lighting so the scene doesn't have a creepy/eerie atmosphere so then the audience does not expect something bad to happen but obviously it does as it is a horror film.
In the main part of the OTS we used low-key lighting to add an eerie atmosphere to the scene as the victim is being taped up and tortured so low-key lighting fits the scene/shots as horrific and creepy things are happening during the scene. Also the low-key lighting makes the location harder to identify so the audience are left curious as to where the victim actually is, and there are a few shots where the villain gets close up to the camera so the low-key lighting hides parts of his face that the masks doesn't cover so then the audience can't see his face and the dark lighting makes him look more scarier and evil.
