  • Is a green screen for most things like the kingdoms, and where the evil home is
  • A Cave

Lighting

  • Blue Lighting- Brings out the cold, feels like isolation and no one around, emptiness
  • Yellow/Orange Lighting Is making it feel like its alive, and happy, and is bringing warmth into the film as if everything is ok
  • Dark Lighting(Dark Blue almost Black)– Makes it seem scary, dark and gives us a feel that its the evil, also makes it seem like a horror film
  • Golden Lighting- The Golden lighting is seemed to be good, no dark magic to be there, also brings like heaven to the place and that God is with them whoever they are
  • Many black screens, and how it fades in and out of scenes quickly
  • A few white screens showing us it could be heaven
  • White bright light shining directly onto the tomb and just the tomb to make it seem important and stand out
