Composition Ambient lighting is used because it make the scene very dark which helps to make the atmosphere appear more eerie. Additionally, Cole is wearing little white pants and a white vest. White is usually associated with the theme of innocence and therefore foreshadows when something bad happens in the upcoming clips, he will be the victim. Another aspect to build up suspense is the red tent. Red is associated with the theme of danger which again could foreshadow what is going to happen in the upcoming scenes.

This was beneficial to us because it was easier to spot blurring mistakes or if the camera tilted slightly. The shot that were unsuccessful with was the over the shoulder shot. This was unsuccessful because the person doing the acting (me) popped up in a sim
