Lighting

When filming, the lighting we will be mostly using is the natural lighting. Hopefully in the day it is quite dull with an overcast, to give that sense of sadness, in the building there will probably be no lights as it is abandoned so hopefully the light piercing in from the windows will give an effect of it being dark and sinister. The overall lack of vibrant colours and mostly a grey/white viewing from the natural light, we will gain no sense of hope but rather despair as we want to project the seriousness of the crime scene.

If it is too dark in the building, we would use a spot light, however this we be secluded on the corner of the wall, and it will be facing the wall so the light is not strongly projected; enough to be able to see the surroundings but keeping the dark atmosphere. During the last scene of the murder, we will place the spotlight behind the antagonist, so the camera adjusts itself to create a silhouette. Overall the saturation of our shots will have a lack of colour or will be edited to do so, this gloomy atmosphere should heighten tension and make scenes seem ambiguous.
