I have found out that it is much less expensive to shoot night scenes for some reason. A lot of shows are employing this now, as are movies. I have a darned hard time seeing a lot of scenes from low budget films because of the very thing you are complaining about (and rightly so!!!!!!). I actually stopped watching the original CSI because for some reason, they only seemed to investigate at night and no one ever turned on a light - I never understood that. It got so irritating I said F it. F your show people! I was so angry watching this too because I had the same problem you had. I did see the demon girl but I had a hard time distinguishing between Mary and her mother in the scenes where they fight because of the darkly "lit" scenes.

Shooting at night is NOT less expensive, where is the logic to that? It only requires a lot more lighting to make anything lit and visible or let alone balanced in a natural way. Shooting in DAY time... any dummy can make something look good without lights, you can get away with just filling people out little in day light ie a little bounce light and its decent. requiring no money to accomplish. Who told you this none sense? Or did yo mean "I have found" as in from your experience shooting, cause from my experience its the complete opposite, Especially with Film cause you kinda want to avoid the high iso due to extreme graininess, with digital not as bad but still.
Films like this are probably hiding their crap filmmaking in dark scenes, ie poor effects, sets, makeup etc covered in black so you use more imagination and do the work for them.

I stated that I "found out" not that I have found. What I meant is that I have discussed it with filmmakers (directors, editors, producers, etc.). It does not mean that I necessarily agree or understand completely, because it would make sense that there is less lighting to be used in the day. HOWEVER, what WAS EXPLAINED was that there is less that has to be diverted or stopped or limited when shooting at night. By this I mean, traffic, closing buildings, getting extra permissions and permits, and obstructing everyday operations of cities and towns. That does cost considerable money. For instance, in The Mummy Returns, there is a scene in which they ride around London in a double decker bus, chased by mummies, and whatnot. They had a very short window to stop one of the busiest places in the world. They were given until sun-up. Think about closing down streets, traffic in places like NY, LA, Chicago, London, France. It is not easy. Even the silly little town of Jasper, AL had craziness with the Town Council when shooting scenes for that homemade zombie flick that was on SYFY recently. There is a LOT to consider in bigger movies. If it is some tiny film, you're not shooting in those locations with those expensive types of equipment and scenes, etc., anyway, so...

I had NO problem whatsoever. Maybe you should turn up the brightness and contrast. I have a friend who has his settings low and claims that blu-ray movies aren't any better than DVD because he doesn't see any visual difference. I've told him countless times to turn up the settings and he doesn't. Screw logic, right?
