Bath scenes are used in a lot of horror films to try and portray a very tense and on edge atmosphere. Because the character is in the shower or bath it somehow makes them a lot more vulnerable. The character also seems to be care free and their mind is elsewhere when they are laying in the bath until something odd happens which makes them panic. When beginning to plan the order of my scenes I would like to use an aerial shot of the female character lying in the bath in a dimly lighted room, maybe I could use artificial lighting through the use of candles. This would represent calm. The effect of doing this would be to even further shock the audience. The comparison between this serene atmosphere and the very quick, disjointed scenes which are to follow would create a panic amongst the audience. These are some bath scenes which I may take inspiration from:
