Lighting 🌞

Hey Gomers it’s Gom back once again! Today we’re going to be talking about the lighting aspect of my film opening.

As you read in the last blog one main thing that happens in my film opening is that over the course of the story the lighting will drastically change, the main character goes through a development with music. Where without the music playing in her ear, her days are gloomy which will be portrayed by each shot being a sort of black and white such as the picture shown to the right. 

This picture shows more of a darker tone then I would like but it gives you an idea.. The character will be seen getting ready in the mirror just like this with a shoulder shot as well as putting clothes on in a single medium shot.

In the first picture on the right we have a Telephone box and it is brighter with color than everything else around it that is black and white. In the picture down below we have a dark shot with a brighter lighting coming in as a persons walking.

Both these shots are examples of how I want my characters emotional side to come across in the audiences eyes. I want it to show very clearly that the music switches the mood of the character to bright and difference in facial expressions. To add on, Im thinking of wanting to incorporate a sense of fantasy into this.. When viewers watch this film opening knowing how the music turns everything brighter as well as ending the opening with a said "page turner" it will also give them the sense of "what's gonna happen next" and  "is music more of a magical thing in this film?" things such as that, which i think will help intrigue viewers to continue watching.

In addition, my character will be feeling a lot in these clips showing the audience specifically how she feels through the lighting. She will put her headphones in as music starts to play the shots will continuously get brighter...the two pictures below will give you a good example on what I am looking to portray.
