Hi. My name is Melissa, and I am 17 years old. I have been in love with movies, specifically horror movies, for the majority of my life. Lighting and cinematography have always transfixed me when I am watching a movie, and I am contemplating pursuing the field of work. I have no experience making a film, but I am working on a film project for the Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts. I have taken your list of books for newbies into consideration and am planning on renting a few from the library. But I have a question in terms of a specific kind of cinematography, that of Luciano Tovoli's in Dario Argento's film "Suspiria". We would like to recreate the heavily saturated, dream-like colors depicted in the film, but we are on a tight budget. Any answers as to cost-efficient ways to do this, and more importantly, what to do?
Thank you so much for your time.
