Lighting

Lighting is a key element to filming which I have taken into careful consideration. As my trailer will predominantly be filmed in the evening when it is dark I shall have to think about my lighting in great detail. To avoid having a yellowish tint to my trailer I shall hopefully be filming with white light as this reduces the chance of my footage looking less professional. 
Considering this, it means that when I film outside I shall have to ask people to help me hold lights and to make sure that they are all in the right position. I think that by using extra lighting when filming outside it will help pick up the facial features which are very important to the narrative of my trailer. 
What I do like about my location of filming outside is that there are street lamps. Although these are yellow light and do not emit the sufficient amount of light that I need, they add to the mise-en-scene.
The light contrasts with the dark background to make my main character also stand out; drawing the audiences attention to her yet also wondering what could be in the darkness. 
When filming inside, I want it to be as light as possible; this is because id like to have the curtains not drawn when it is dark. This incorporates Claude Levi Strauss' binary opposite theory (light VS dark). I am also hoping to use my lighting to create shadows in certain places throughout my scenes, this could infer to the audience that something is lurking there. This will play on their fears and makes it more of a psychological horror which is what my focus group said they liked best out of the horror genre.
