House of The Dragon Darkness Issues? Explained

According to the HBOMaxHelp Twitter account, the darkness issues seems to have been a post-production problem. Some of the “nighttime” sequences in House of the Dragon were filmed during daytime hours, and, once finished, post-production would take over and dim the lighting to create the illusion of Darkness.

However, for this case, the dark visuals were an intentional choice by House of the Dragon’s creative team, as HBO’s Help Twitter account explained to a user.

This isn’t the first time that the World of Westeros was too dark for fans to see what was going on. During Game of Thrones‘ final season, the episode “The Long Night” was also heavily criticized by viewers for being too dark to see what was going on. As with the latest episode, the choice to have “The Long Night” so dark was an intentional creative decision.
