Planning for final project

- Horror.

- Slow panning / zooming shots.

- Long lasting shots to add suspense.

- Low key lighting.

- Electronic humming when near light source.

- Close up and long shots.

- Camera glitch effect.

My final film is to be focused on building atmosphere through the use of long shots and low key lighting. I plan to use low key and high contrast lighting, creating shadows. Characters will be absent for most of the film, and it will focus more so on the environment.

The film is to be more subtle, with the horror coming from the cinematography and lighting rather than monsters or gore. I have not yet decided whether sound will be an important part of the film, as i may make the film silent, or i could have sound be essential to the atmosphere.

I may also use a song as a backing track, making the film more akin to a music video, though this depends on the footage and how i feel it would be best edited. If i were to do this i would use a mostly ambient and slow paced song.

Post 3rd shoot:

-Closed eye

-Cooker flame lights

-Eye opens

-Leaving room

-Turns off flame + looks around

I am still unsue as to whether i will show any other being in the house or keep it
 in mystery. Showing something could break thetension i have built throughout the film.
