Blog #21 – Color & Lighting

Color and lighting are key parts of making tone, so I’m using them to show the shift in the story. At the beginning, everything feels bright and simple. As the tension builds, the lighting becomes slightly harsh or colder.

Indoor lighting approach:

Starting with soft, warm lighting to make the characters look comfortable.

As scenes get more serious, shadows increase, especially around the corners of the frame.

Using the ring light only when necessary.


Outdoor lighting:

Filming earlier in the day so the sun is steady and beaming.

Lowering exposure a little during tense scenes so colors look muted.

Using shade strategically for moments where the vibe shifts.


Color palette:

Begins warm/neutral and slowly transitions into cooler tones.
