Thoughts/features 8:

Lighting/Tints:

The lighting in our piece was vital due to our genre. We had to find a tint which resembled that of a horror and psychological genre.

In order to achieve this we added a white tint onto the shots of Nikki Leigh in the corridor. The existing colours of a green feel complimented this to give a surreal shade on the shots. It created the effect which suggested the end, when people are said to "walk into the light", and we felt this kind of effect would help to add the mystery and creepiness we aimed for.


As well as this, on the shots of Aphra in the forest, we added a red tint, of a dark calibre. The reason for this was because Aphra was a killer, therefore we felt red indicated danger, darkness and murder and it also gave a sense of mystery to the opening which complemented the supernatural sub-genre of horror.

The light tone we used for Nikki Leigh we also used for Ruben in order to get good balance of contrasts across the whole scene. We feel this worked best.
