Mise-en-scene: Lighting

 Hello!!! Welcome back to my blog! Today I want to discuss lighting. I am excited to talk about this because ever since the beginning I've had an idea of how I would like it to be!

My film is gonna take place at night. So, naturally, the lighting is gonna be dark. But, I want to take this to the next level. By this, I mean that I want there to be a reason for the dark lighting, not just because of the time.

I was thinking something similar to this:



Of course, my film would mostly be inside, but I think this a good representation of how I want the lighting in my film opening to be like.

backstage.com (2025) states that "low-key lighting create a muted image that complements the tense drama created through the plot and characters of the film." This definition shows why I want to use low-key lighting. I want to build as much suspense as possible in order to convey a menacing/suspenseful mood.

Okay, but how will I achieve low-key lighting? 
This video really helped me understand HOW to achieve low-key lighting.

You should definitely expect low-key lighting when watching my film opening! I can't wait to start filming and editing to implement this!
