Mise-en-scene element#1

To make a horror film, you need to have mise-en-scene elements to make it feel like a real horror film. Today for this post, I will talk about an element I find pretty important into making a horror film and tomorrow I'll talk about another but for today, I will be talking about the lighting and setting to make a good horror film.

Lighting-

Now in order to make a good horror film, lighting in a crucial role in making it. When you are going to record, your going to want to have low-key lighting as low-key lighting can be used to imply that your in a dangerous area and to show mystery and terror into the characters to show how they are feeling. Low-key lighting is going to be especially useful when we are going to film because we are going to conceal the zombies when they attack the parents and using low-key lighting is going to do just that for us and help us still create the sense of the characters being killed.

Here is a good example on how low-key lighting is going to help up create our film.

Setting- 

Were going to make our film inside of my house and we are planning it to be at night as it will be dark out to create that eerie like atmosphere. Setting is also important as this goes with lighting as the supporting cast to create horror.
