Revisions #3- Lighting

     In our previous film, the unedited lighting in the scenes was very cheery and beautiful, which didn't relate to our overall plot. We noticed this during editing and we added a grey filter, to attempt to mask the cheery light. However, this filter made the entire film one note, as there we little changes in lighting. Thus in our new film, we set our filming schedule to be close to sunset, adding a natural eerie background for the film. While doing this, we ended up racing through our shots, as we were quickly losing daylight. The lighting was getting darker and darker very quickly throughout our filming, thus making there be a obvious lighting difference between shots. We were left disappointed, and assumed we would just re-film those shots another day.


    However, while editing, we realized that the change in lighting throughout our retakes added to our plot. As Jaxson moved into the forest and closer to the monster, the lighting got darker, adding suspense to our film. There were a couple shots, that I did lighten, just so viewers could see our actors, but overall the lighting changes worked to our benefit in our film.
