Lighting in Suspense

 For the research of my preference I chose to investigate about lighting techniques since it can help build the vibe and create tension.

• Silhouttes: Using the silhoutte of a character or object to hide their identity is helpful to create mystery.

• Shadows: The shadow of a character can be used for the same purpose as silhouettes and you can use them to show that someone or something is hiding.

• Hard Lighting: It is when the light focuses only on a character's face to highlight facial features, and giving them a siniester look.

• Unstable lights: Malfunctioning bulbs that turn on and off by their own can create a sense of unpredictability and fear.

• Underlighting: It's when the source of light is below the character distorting their face features and making them look more menacing.

• Poor light source: When the character's vision is reduced to a flashlight or a candle creating tension and anxiety in the public.
