Lighting Ideas From Other Films

SHADOWING

In this trailer for the film Shame, a lot of shadowing is used. This creates enigmas and makes the whole trailer look a lot more mysterious which fits its genre of being a psychological drama, the same as our trailer to be. The effect of the shadowing also makes the trailer appear varied in terms of moods and atmospheres created, so brightness for positive happenings, minimal lighting cast upon the actors' faces to show small glimmers of hope perhaps and total darkness so that a full enigma is created. By showing variety in our trailer it will show our capability of capturing more than one type of mood but then also having underlying codes and conventions which make the trailer more meaningful.
