For the project, I’m getting really into the research on filming techniques that amp up the atmosphere and tension. One thing I’m learning is how camera angles and shots can really mess with viewers' emotions.
For instance, wide shots can make a character feel super isolated, which heightens the sense of dread. According to No Film School, these shots not only showcase vulnerability but also set the stage for something scary lurking nearby.
I’m also digging into how lighting plays a big role in creating a creepy vibe. Low-key lighting, with its deep shadows, is perfect for building unease.
An article from American Cinematographer points out that this kind of lighting can make things feel mysterious, which is exactly what you want in horror. Plus, I’m looking at how handheld camera work can bring an urgent, chaotic feel, pulling viewers right into the action.
All this research is helping me as I work on my storyboard, making sure every shot adds to the horror experience.
I’m excited to blend these techniques into my film and create something that sticks with people long after they watch it!
