Lighting Practice

 During the lighting practice, in this photo we had the light behind, to the side with a red filter over the light. As the perosn is blocking out most of the light this creates alot of shadow on their face. The top of their head is highlighted by the light creating a supernatural effect. This would be good to us if we want to nide the features of one of the actors faces to add some suspense as we then cannot see what they're thinking. Shannon, Cinematographer

Lighting Practice


In this picture we had the light to the side with a yellow filter over the light. This distorts the image slightly and so we can see clearly there is something different in this scene. As the light is to the side of the person this also creates alot of shadow on the further away side of her face. As well as the background being all dark. This is also a very good effect in horror movies as the yelow light suggests something supernatural and the shadows and use of darkness also adds suspense as we cannot see the whole scene.

Location
































These are pictures of the location obviously don't look scary yet, but when all the mise-en-scene is in place, it will be a great haunted house as there are lots of corners and alley ways. IZZI

script


This is a page from the scrip from the ring. As a director, I found this extract particularly interesting because in the idea of the threat has been introduced in the previous conversation, so the seed has already been implanted in the audience's minds that something bad is going to happen, but because the two girls are having the conversation in such a nonchalant way, and just laugh over the idea of the threat, this makes the audience even more uneasy, because we are expecting something to happen, whereas the characters are utterly oblivious and not expecting anything, which makes them an easy target and vulnerable. I think this is a very powerful thing to do, because it immediately instills fear in the audience, and after seeing how they have done this, I will try to create this effect in a similar way, because it's a sure way to scare the audience through the dialogue.
