Stephen Kings IT Lighting Analysis


As George looks down into the sewer back lighting is used making it seem as though the sewer is a dark place. As the clown appears in the sewer under lighting is used to illuminate his face  as that is the only lighting again re enforcing that the sewer is a dark and dangerous place this type of lighting is often used in horror films. Also Low key lighting is used on the antagonist to give him a sinister and dark tone this is also commonly used in horrors and will attract audiences who are fans of the horror genre.

In the image above we can see that top lighting is used to highlight the protagonists facial expressions of fear. Back lighting is also used in the back to connote that they are walking away from safety. Key light is also used in this shot on the left person as a shadow is created around his face this could be done to make him seem more distorted then the rest.
