Low Key Lighting: The term "low key" is used in cinematography to refer to any scene with a predominance of shadowy areas. It tends to heighten the scene of alienation felt by the viewer which is why it is commonly used in horror films. High Key Lighting: This type of lighting is predominantly very bright and allows few dark areas or shadows within the scene. High Key is a type of lighting which features strong illumination on the subject and an often exposed background. The idea of a single light can open up the possibility of many different things happening to the character and makes the audiences' imagination think of the worst possible outcome or consequences for the victim.
In our trailer we used a lot of different shots which included a lot of different lighting techniques, we needed a variety of different lighting techniques to show the different times each shot was done. Without the lighting our shots will not look as professional but childish. We used the same lighting throughout all the scenes we filmed it will look like we have put no effort into are editing and been lazy, however we could not change the lighting dramatically or else the trailer would not flow as smoothly and will again will look unprofessional.
In our trailer we never used much lighting a we filmed our scenes in the day and then faded the image to make it look darker, we did this as we didn't want our trailer to be light, we wanted it dark and mysterious.
In our trailer we used various different angles to get good lighting. This showed the audience the shadows from the props that were used. There are many different types of lighting such as high key lighting this is used when the scene is bright or positive. There is also low key lighting this is only used when the viewer can see very limited things they use this low key lighting to highlight dark characters. In our trailer we used a mixture of both low and high key lighting, this was to contrast the difference between the good and bad times.
