Murnau's work is something I have taken great interest in, especially the way in which he is able to manipulate light to bring shadows into the visuals in order to give a sense of a certain mood. I wish to recreate some of the techniques he has used. Below we see some screenshot of the type of thing I'm talking about.

The thing I feel I will take most inspiration from will be his use of light to create the mood effectively. So I plan to inspect some shots within some of his film mainly Nosferatu. Here are some examples of some shots that I admire in terms of lighting.

I will recreate scenes like these in order to add to the narrative as I really value the use of lighting as we see with Nosferatu, which really does outline the story of Dracula in a detailed and effective way. You can see a separate blog on how I have learnt to do this and where from.
