lighting, noir films

I can use similar lighting technique which were used in the famous film Nosferatu.This is because we are using a shadow of an vampire in our own movie similar to the clip above. Therefore we can flash the lighting directly at the actor whos shadow we want, to give effect and so the shadow is  shown bold and clear. It is important because the audience need to know and have a clear understanding of what this happening in the scene. This can only happen if the shadow in the scene is definite.The clearness of the shadow would also depend on what time of the day it is. If the scene was shot in natural lighting it is likely that we would get many shadows we might not want. However if the scenes shot in a dim lighted room using a spotlight we would be able to establish the shot the way we want it.

The film establish the genre of noir films, as it uses contrast between light and dark. This can give many effects to the film for example we can use the dark do hide a characters identity giving it a mysterious effect. As most of our production is based on a lighting, such as lighting from the weather outside, we have to create this effect. lighting from the TV. We can establish the genre of noir films when filming the biting scene.

The biting scene in our film does not show the bite, instead we hears a scream and a shadow attacking Bree (protagnist). We then see blood and the bite mark on her neck.
