Lighting from the film The Conjuring

Picture from the film The Conjuring

In this photo the main lighting is underlighting as the light in underneath the character. This type of lighting is mostly used in horror films. Underlighting is when the light comes from below or in front of the object or camera. Underlighting is key in showing the characters emotions as the rest of the picture is dark. It also shows that something bad is happening because it is has very depressing and dark colours. 

Clip from Citizen Kane 1940 Orson Welles

Citizen Kane Clip

In the clip from Citizen Kane there are many different types of camera shots used to show us which parts are most important. The timing between the different shots are quite short also, they fade into each other. At the beginning there is a close up on a sign that says ‘No Trespassing’ this indicates that whatever s behind the fence is private and someone doesn't want people finding out what is behind it. Then the shot fade out and shows a different type of fence but is still close up. Now, the shot is still close up but has changed into a part if gate then slowly fades out to a medium show which shows half of the gate and a house in the distance. This shows that someone is living in the house as you can see the lights are on. As the clip plays on the camera get closer and closer to the house which implies that the action is going to be happening in the house. It has also been showing us the surroundings of the house which may give us an insight of who is living in the house and why they are in a secluded area away from everyone else. As the camera shows a close up of a window the light suddenly goes of which makes the audience certain that someone is living in the house.
