LIGHTING RESEARCH

Lighting Research: Our Inspiration

We plan for our opening sequence to mainly be shot in a dim, low-key light with natural sun light so it appears to be the sunrise, but also some evening shots included to show the amount of time our character spent in the woods away from civilisation. Obviously our other setting is in a mental institution which is going to be lit with artificial lighting but edited with a slight colour sepia filter on it to reflect the time period of the 70's which it is set in.

We have looked at a few ideas which we can take inspiration from when filming our opening sequence from other psychological horror movies which are set in similar places.

I also adore the film footage filter from the decade of the 60's-70's because i believe that this decade is a huge convention of psychological horrors alone and it reflects a time period of superstision and insanity, which is vastly reflected in my opening sequence also if all goes to plan. These photographs are unrelated to our opening sequence however they have been taken with the timeless filter which reflects our desired time period:
