The following points are a list of ideas of different uses of lighting we could use for our filming and how it can create moods of tension that would match the context of a thriller. We are also planning to film during the night so use of lighting will hopefully create a larger effect on the mood of the film and increase the level of tension.
.Backlighting - we are hoping to use this type of lighting when the stranger is standing in the door way which would create a sillhouete figure which would conceal his identity and curiosity will be developed over this character and may also suggest that this character is menacing because of his dark figure being portrayed from the backlighting.
The backlighting should also create a shadow over the Main Character's body which would suggest that this stranger is menacing and has some form of power over the Main Character which would therefore create tension because the shadow of the stranger makes the stranger appear threatening.
.Sidelighting - we are also planning to use this type of lighting for on the Main Character's face when there is a close up on his facial features as he is lying on the floor. This would illuminate one half of the character's face and would create a mysterious effect and could also indicate that something dark or disturbing has occured to him.
.Toplighting - this lighting may be used for the scene in the gambling room which would illuminate the top half of the characters faces. This should be effective because the lighting would allow the audience to see the characters' eyes clearer so the audience's focus is more on the eyes of the players and this creates a mood of suspicion and mystery.This therefore shows that this type of lighting is appropriate for this scene as this is a game involved in gambling where a lot of judgement of others people facial expressions is required.
