I convey danger in my lighting by not using sand bags, overloading my stand, not putting the weight on the tall leg and by using my left hand to tight my gobo head ! Sometime I'll make the stick eye level with no tennis ball if I really feel like it !

I like using dramatic hard lighting and reds/greens to convey danger or urgency. Loved the explanation behind utilizing the book lighting so people moving in front of the source don't interfere as much with the shot! My appreciation for sunroofs just skyrocketed as well! Great video!

I'd use my lighting to silhouette the danger so the audience can begin to slowly understand but not have the reveal all at once. Colour then takes this to the next level.

I use chiaroscuro lighting to paint outlines of my subject and the background. That way the audience is fighting through the obscurity. Next I use a primary danger color (red - toxic Green) with a complementary color as a minor accent shade. When the subject is still, I'll add some 3D space movement (vs hue or luminance movement). When subject is moving, I try to keep the lighting still.

I've found that a great way to convey danger is is to use dark parts throughout the frame so the audience focuses on the main source of the danger through light values. Once that is done, stylizing the light hitting the source of the danger is a good way to evoke emotion. I purposefully make sure nothing else is blooming or in the same light values as the main focus of the scene. The highlights should be just above midtones but no so bright that its hitting us over the head. A famous example of this is Indiana Jones in which he switches the sand for the golden idol. The idol is the brightest thing there but it's not so bright as to overpower the frame.

I think the classic way to go in thrillers or horror movies is to add a flickering bulb effect and that way your audience is struggling to see the characters well, which adds to the tension of the scene. Plus you can 'hide' characters or things in the dark bits only to then appear when the bulb flicks back on. A more stylistic choice that I really like but is harder to pull off is a strong red light, which you can justify as realistic for the scene if for example the power is off and the emergency lights kick in (or maybe you don't need to justify it at all). It comes off too strong sometimes, but it does a good job of illustrating an evil character's blood lust, or that someone is about to become a victim etc. It can be used in more subtle ways too, of course but its a stylistic choice that doesn't belong in every movie.

INTERIOR DAYLIGHT DANGER LIGHTING : I would start with 'silhouettng' the characters with the window in the background while having a very big diffused light sometimes I study the location and wait for the sun to hit directly into the interior and then use a queen size bed sheet from the outside to diffuse the light .. "cheaper" lol EXTERIOR/INTERIOR NIGHT DANGER LIGHTING : I would use two designs, let's say a car scene and the car is moving I'd use the cyan and reddish sodium color contrast with having the cyan as the night 'moonlight' and the reddish sodium as the street lights with having a two novas mounted to the car while controlling the sodium nova dim to act as the light in the street with trying to convey some "red" lights upon the character from outside if it was the antagonist as moving cars! And I would always try however the scene is to put additional source of light from under the characters to cast some shadows on the face that gives the thrilling vibe!! Wooh

@colet58363 жыл бұрын
I generally use a more dramatic lighting ratio, as I think that it adds suspense to the scene, by not having everything be fully visible. Combining that with slower camera movement makes things feel more dangerous, as it makes the audience anticipate something to come, and builds that sense of danger.

I think it’s less about using LIGHT to convey danger than about the strategic placement/use of shadow. Really setting the mode and tone by deciding where you can see and where can’t. Then you can subtly accent that with colored pops of light that relate to the mood you want.

I’ve never filmed for danger, but I would try to emulate (spoiler alert) the scene where Han Solo is killed by Kylo Ren. There’s a sense of light vs dark side with the blues and reds strategically placed in the background. We (the audience) feel Han is talking to his son Ben, but then the scene turns red with even a little of red casted onto the character’s face signaling his shift back to Kylo, where he then kills Han This scene is so beautiful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npmQq3qGYrGWh7M

Well I guess the simple answer would be to use color as a way to convey danger. The obvious being a red light illuminating the killers face or something like that. But personally, I would have most of the lights off. Keep it simple, draw the viewers eye to the one or few things illuminated, and let the danger play in the darkness.
