There are many different types of lighting that we could use in our trailer including: artificial lighting, ambient lighting, profile lighting, incident lighting, back lighting, available lighting and low key lighting etc. Lighting is very important in moving media; it is used to enhance the mood and atmosphere of the scene, to direct attention or reveal/hide the identity of a character and to convey time of day. Lighting such as, profile lighting, ambient lighting, incident lighting and artificial lighting are mainly used in horror films. We have chosen to speak about three types of lighting that will feature in our trailer, they are: profile lighting, ambient lighting and available lighting.

Ambient lighting will be used throughout our trailer. Daylight will be used to portray the fact that everything seems normal even though it isn’t, time is still moving even when Mary-Anne isn’t, the sun always rises in the morning but will she ever rise? Moonlight will be used to create an eerie effect for the audience. It will create suspense for the audience as it is a common convention for horrifying things to happen at night time. The opening scenes will be filmed in the day to show happiness and brighter times and the ending scary scenes will be filmed at night. We see a similar use of lighting in 'The Uninvited' scary scenes are usually at night time.
Profile Lighting
Available lighting is any lighting that is not sunlight. Generally speaking, available lighting is lighting which is man-made and can be flicked on and off with a switch. In our trailer, available lighting will be used in a form of a torch. When Mary-Anne is captured the only light in the room will be from a torch, this will create a terrifying and eerie effect for the audience. It is a well known fact that people are scared of the dark, but not exactly the dark but what lurks within it. In the final scenes a torch will be shone into Mary-Anne’s face this will reveal her gruesome facial injuries and petrified expression.

In the trailer, Dennis’ full face and body is never revealed to the audience to keep them guessing about who he really is. Profile lighting will be used to make this possible, only one side of his face will lit to divulge his identity to the audience. The fact half his face is light and the other is dark highlights the fact that somewhere inside Dennis’ distorted, dark mind lies a man who is innocent and longing for someone to love him.
Available Lighting
Available lighting is any lighting that is not sunlight. Generally speaking, available lighting is lighting which is man-made and can be flicked on and off with a switch. In our trailer, available lighting will be used in a form of a torch.
