Today, we're breaking down the cinematography of our short horror film Nefarious to teach you some no budget cinematography and lighting tips that you can use for your next horror film.
Nefarious was shot using two Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4ks (BMPCC4k) and a single Pocket 6k (BMPCC6k). We discuss the strategies we used to light our scenes to be able to shoot as fast as possible on a really tight schedule.
