Lighting

    In this post I am discussing the mise-en-scene element, lighting! We have a certain vibe we want to capture an to o so we need to have a consistent mise-en-scene, an a huge factor for that is lighting. So for our film opening we would like to use low key light that a little warmer so it feels more homely like a household dinner would be and we want to use colored lighting (more specifically red).

    Throughout most of the film, we will just have the warmer-toned low-key lighting and during the gruesome flashback scene, we will have red lighting to emphasize the horror and intensity of the situation. Even though afterwards the lighting will return to normal it will leave audiences shocked and anxious about the potential upcoming situation and what this whole dinner was all about. 

This is a picture of how our red lighting scene looks:
