For this shot, I’m planning to shot from the back of the character and shows the lighting in the distance flicked on and off.
locate the eyeline
Next cut I decide to shot it in a balance way. Although balance may lower the feeling of fear. But similar as The Shining, the way of framing in the completely rule of thirds can also cause fear by negative space and lighting.
And I refined some details of the hand and shoulder.
My friend Yuanhang suggests me to change the intensity of lights with tiny different brightness so that the scene will be more realistic. He also suggested me to increase the brightness intensity by stroboscopic, so I switched to two different light flashes about 6 frames apart from each other from 0-700.
For the camera I pushing it in with rotate to create the sense of vertigo.
The speed of the camera was supposed to ease out, but the effect was to see the next frame quickly cut the shot, so I speeded it up.
