lighting Exercise

This is a video that we made based on lighting for the class exercise where we were just having fun experimenting with different lighting techniques and different movement with what we are doing in the light to help bring out the effect of the lights used in the shots. We also used the dolly tracks to move the camera back and forth to help add a moving camera effect around the people being filmed so its not boring staying in just one spot and film whats happening, it looks better moving the camera around with the movement.

Insidious Movie Trailer

The thing i liked about this trailer was the use of music and the transitions of the music gives you frights because of the way it rises up after its been quiet for a bit


Here are some screenshots of a closeup shot of the subjects profile and the surroundings around her indicating that there's nobody else around her. Until you see something moving in the back....

 She was frightened and starts searching around her lounge for any signs of anything in the house
a good medium closeup shot of the woman looking around.

 A wide shot showing us the woman's facial expression and that the room is completely empty.

 She walks back and forth and didn't notice that someone was behind her.

As this scene goes on the music is very calm, a ladies voice singing a lullaby and then shows this ghost lady above telling the frightened girl to follow her.

As soon as she gets to the other side, the ghost is gone.. and this is a nice wide shot showing the surroundings of the room next door from the lounge where she had walked from showing us that there is no sign of the ghost and then the music just jumps in and gives you the chills!

Another thing i like is the color of the film. I think its a cold look that gives you the idea of this as being a horror film because it wouldn't be so sunny in a scary part? only unless its in the begining when everything was normal like most horror films are before they start freaking you out.
