for our second research post, we focused more on lighting, camera shots, and editing styles. lighting changes everything, if a scene is too bright, it doesn’t feel serious but when you dim it a little or even add a bit of shadows, it suddenly feels mysterious. for Amara’s scenes, we want very cool tones and shadows so it feels like she’s kind of in her own world. when the bullies are together, it’ll look warmer and more normal to show the contrast between her and them.
we also plan on using some handheld camera shots to make it look like someone is actually following them. that’ll give it that creepy “someone’s watching” look. and when things start getting tense, we’ll speed up the cuts to make it feel like time’s speeding up.
sound is gonna carry most of the emotion. even if nothing’s happening visually, we want people to feel something’s off through sound. things like faint or heavy breathing, footsteps, or background music that slowly builds up.
after researching all this, we realized we can make Karma High look way more interesting just by being smart with our shots and sound to set the right mood.
