Hi,
I am currently writing up my 15,000word dissertation for University. I study Film Production Technology and my project is an Investigation into lighting techniques within a short production which I am dedicating it on Horror.
I am currently writing about camera effects on lighting, so the exposure, aperture and shutter speeds. Does anyone have any information on how you could use the exposure levels to create a Horror feel, or use the aperture, or shutter speed to ones advantage? I need to write references throughout so if any one has some helpful links that I may reference from then that would be great.
I have already written about the film Sleepy Hollow and the way they drained out the intensity of light, and the colours they created were always the same throughout- muted greens, dull metallic blue, drab browns, lots of various shades of grey, and black etc.
Any information on lighting a Horror would be great.
Thank you.
From a stressing student.
