Now my horror movie is very dark. I kind of let shadows fall off and kept it very realistic. The real reason is because it was filmed for a budget of literally under $25. I had no money and could not afford real lights, like in Hollywood. What are some cheep ways to produce realistic lighting?
How about this:
A couple of work lights with stands from any home improvement
store.

Five or six ?scoop lights? - those clamp on work lights with the
silver reflector.

Three or four pieces of Foamcore from any art supply store to use
to bounce the light.

Two or three paper lanterns that you can get at Ikea. I hook each
one to a dimmer (home improvement store again) to get better
control.

Some colored gels (check on line or if there is a small theater in
your town they often have extras) and some black wrap. Check
Studio Depot.

A do-it-yourself Croney Cone made from foamcore and gaff tape can
be made to use as a gel holder, soft box and light shade.
