Interesting link, i think we may be able to use the building up of sound to create an atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the dull lighting because it's something that is very achieveable and we can use it to create a sense of mystery.
ReplyDeleteGood comments Luke but this needs a bit more detail. Consider all the elements of mise en scene, including sfx. Editing and transitions could have more detail too.
