Today's post will focus mainly on low key lightning. Because low key lightning is huge part of our film opening and I am not very familiar with it, I will be collecting research to understand it more. For those who don't know, low key lighting is a film element that uses most dark tones to create a dramatic, ominous, and mysterious image. Low key lightning uses as little amount of light as possible, so it makes the subject look scarier than if the whole face was lit. It is possible to create low key lightning with natural light, but its very tricky so we will be taking the easier route by using flashlights and a studio light.
Steps for creating low key lighting:
1. set up a dark black backdrop behind your subject
2. Keep the light source focusing on your subject, not the backdrop
3. Have a reflector next to the subject (optional)
4. film away!
Below are two examples of what we plan on having it look like:
