When I was creating this video I wanted the vibe to be creepy, and mysterious, as I chose a piece of music that is mysterious and has an ambiance. This piece of painting itself isn’t necessarily mysterious or creepy so I decided to use lighting to create the sense of mood I desire it to be. With limited tools, I used the light in the room and flashlight to create different types of light. I turned on and off to create the effect of flickering and used my flashlight from my phone to isolate the painting from the rest of the room. I also tried moving my flashlight angles from above to below and it surprisingly created this ring type of lighting. That is how I created my lighting design at home.

I used to think that lighting is all about color but now I think that not only can color create mood but the different effects of one single light, and how it can create a mood just by the different usage of the light.
