Details
In this tutorial course by Dawn Spears, we look at using Daz Studio to recreate some classic horror scenes! She shows the set up of scenes and lighting from scratch to give complete control over the kind of effects that will terrify viewers!
Dawn goes through concepts used in lighting, camera angles, and set designs in horror scenes and recreates scenes from classic films.
Video Total Running Time
2 hours and 20 minutes
How to create a creepy atmosphere:
- Use of color
- Use of shadow to obscure
- Unusual camera angles
- Harsh lighting (no soft edges)
- Images through other objects, windows, trees, etc.
- Framing scenes. Claustrophobic, clashing colors/patterns
- Harsh angles on shapes i.e. evil triangles
Types of Horror Lighting:
- Uplighting
- Spotlighting
- Low Key - emphasizes shadows
- Hard lights - increased contrast
- Backlighting - strong backlight with added fog
- Background lighting - silhouette
- Saturating with the color red or blue, sometimes green
Case Studies:
- Case study 1: Nosferatu - a gothic classic - the silhouette and stairway
- Case study 2: Alien - Sci-Fi corridor
- Case study 3: Blair Witch Project
- Case study 4: "It" - Supernatural Horror
- Case study 5: The Shining - Psychological
- Case study 6: Psycho - Psychological
