 Green screens in horror movies 




A green screen lets you place any backdrop picture you desire behind the performers and in the front. It is a simple way to add the desired background behind the subject/actor/presenter in film production. The green screen comes to the rescue when the scene is unavailable, such as a fictional, alien, historical, futuristic, or even a difficult-to-access locale.



Many horror films use supernatural beings as the antagonist in films but it's very hard to create some of these characters in the real world . It's also hard for small production companies with small budgets to create them . But thanks to the advancement in technology it  has made convincing visual effects far more accessible to lower budget production companies .Green screens are now commonplace on horror sets—and if you strip away all the special effects, what you're left with isn't very scary at all.


Here are some picture examples : 


Deadly honeymoon (2010)

The thing (2011)


World war z (2013)




REFLECTION : 
As this is my first years studying media I wanted to look at green screens as horror film are mostly based on the supernatural and not many production company's have a high budget to be able to create those antagonists ( just like my company ) . it was very intriguing to see green screens and to be able to find out that I can make my own just at home and would consider using them for my final film .

  lighting in horror  low-key lighting  Horror movies frequently employ low-key lighting because of the effects it produces. The dark tone and shadows created by this lighting are appropriate for a horror movie; they increase anxiety because of the film's eerie, enigmatic mood and limit how much of the setting and people are revealed. Through the use of shadows and muted colours, it establishes the tenor, the mood, and a perilous relationship with mystery. (an example of low key lighting used in a film) high-key lighting  apart from low-key lighting horror producers can also use high key lighting , this helps to :  - The lights utilised produce a light hue and are particularly bright.  - To illuminate the entire scene, the lights are frequently placed high above.  - Because the lights are placed high above, they don't need to be changed, making it simple to film continuously.  - Makes use of several hot light sources (fluorescent soft lights)....
