Day Trip & film techniques: building our toolkit

Learning objective: to write extended explanations of the role of lighting, mis-en-scene and symbolism in "Day Trip."

Lighting:

• the use of light and shade in a scene
• used to set the mood of a scene, e.g. bright light for happy scenes, and shade and darkness for scary or sad scenes.
• directional lighting puts a focus on a particular person or object
• can have a filter on the lens - green filter makes the scene unnatural-looking; pink filter makes the scene look gory
