Lighting experiment

The lighting in this shot is quite discreet, it is coming from behind the camera and is very low.
I did this because it helps to make the shot more eerie as it is quite dark. In addition to the low lighting, the walls are black, making the shot look much darker than it actually is.
I think that if we had trouble with trying to make the room dark in our coursework piece, then we could put some black paper onto the walls to make it look a lot darker than it actually is.
Also, because the ceiling in this shot is white, it helps to illuminate the diagonal lines. This would be good to show anxiety in a film opening.

In the shot to the right, I used a green/blue pencil case to create a tint on the lighting. 
I think that it looks quite good as the green gradually gets darker as the light fades, this helps because the green could then fade into complete darkness.
The green helps to show that something in the shot is not right and that something supernatural may be going on.
Also, the way that the light is very bright in the middle and then slowly fades out could show that there may have been a glimmer of hope in the scene but now the supernatural is taking over and is slowly creeping in.

Again, the lighting is coming from behind the camera. 
This helps to illuminate the door, bringing it to focus and also helps to make the room behind the door look very dark.
The room behind is almost unrecognisable in the dark and I think that this would be good because it adds suspense. Especially if we were to be doing a POV shot.
Another good thing about a shot like this is that nothing is reflected on the glass. This is good because it could be used to create the supernatural idea that things can't be seen in glass when they are actually in front of it.

The main focus in this shot was the shadow. The shadow here is quite defined and I don't think that this would be very useful in a supernatural horror because it gives away too much.
A shadow that is much less obvious would be a lot spookier as it would make the audience think about what is going on and what is making the shadow.

This shot has the opposite effect. The shadows in this shot are very discreet and quite eerie.
The way that only part of the plant is fully visible helps the audience imagine what the rest of it looks like. This could be used to create suspense in a supernatural, and even a psychological, horror as it would play tricks on the mind.
