The clever use of high-key and low-key lighting throughout their film created a dramatic tone and sense of mystery, evoking emotions of fear or threat. The sound effects also played a vital role in their pieces of work, mimicking the intensity of the scenes.

This position highlights their solitude and connection to the outside world.  COLOUR - the colour palette is dominated by greys and black, which cre
