Lighting for our Main Task

Lighting is an essential part of films especially in the Thriller genre as the darkness of a scene can emphasise the mystery or danger surrounding a particular character. An example is in a murder scene the killer's identity might be hidden due to lack of light and we only see his/her shadow or outline in the darkness.

We have three different scenes and we need to make sure we choose the appropriate amount of lighting.

Nathan in room 
- Midday
- Quite gloomy, not very bright 
- Just sunlight coming in through the windows of his bedroom.

Nathaniel on laptop 
- A dark room , not much is visible
 - Possibly just a lamp is on
- Brightness on Laptop is bright to emphasise what is on the screen.


3 Henchmen walking 
- Evening time outiside
- Depends on where we film and how many streetlights there are, not many we hope
- Quite dark to show the danger and mystery behind these men.
