Horror Cinematic Lighting Techniques

In a detailed paragraph, answer the following questions:

1. What are they key tips that you learned in this video?
2. What tip do you feel you could put to use in your horror film coming up?

Uplighting creates an uneasy atmosphere because it is a lighting set up that usually cannot be found in everyday life. It is useful to have this as a practical light so it doesn't look abnormal. Spot lighting is effective because it forces the audience to pay attention to one specific location n the shot. The inability to see anything beyond the spot increases the horror. Therefore, it is crucial that the parts of the frame that is not directly lit be pitch black. Highly saturated red and silhouettes can be psychologically distressing as well. Among these techniques, I hope to use the uplighting technique so that I can create a scene that is visually appealing for the audience.
