Lighting

For our film we want to create a sense of suspense and mystery throughout our opening scene. We will achieve this by using low lighting incorporated with darkness. We will only use low lighting for the killer as this will make him seem more mysterious which will keep the audience guessing about his background and what exactly he is doing. Additionally when we film inside a garage we will use dim lighting sources so that we can see what we are filming while still being able to have the thoughts of mystery involved.

However when we are filming the police detective we will use brighter lighting to show the audience all of his props such as his police badge. This shows the audience what job title he holds as well as being committed to his job. Also as we want to show the detective as being tired and working into the last hours of his day. Therefore we will film at night to show that he is obsessed while being dedicated and compelled to solve the case he is working on.
