Screen Shots


This picture demonstrates Rembrandt style side lighting. I have put it onto the suspect to show that he could maybe be responsible for the murder, even though throughout interrogation he has no side lighting to hint to the audience that he is innocent.

All of the scenes with the victim in it have high key lighting. I wanted it to be very bright so that she looked even more vulnerable and to show that there was no where for her to hide, he death was inevitable.

This shot uses very severe Rembrandt style side lighting to allude to the detective's evil side that killed his wife. I wanted him to look very sincere so that the audience could either think it was because he is upset or because he is guilty. The contrast in the strong light to the very shadowed background shows that he is in the shadows, as the shits with the suspect are much brighter to show his innocence.

This shot has a high contrast in light. It shows his face to be very exposed but his body shadowed. This was also to demonstrate his dark side. The camera angle was made to make him seem of higher status and power, to show that he is able to get away with the crime he has commited.

The severe lack of shadowing on his face here shows his innocence, and the shadow behind him to show that he had a bad past, his drugs past, but that he did not commit this crime. The background is significantly lighter to show that he is the innocent one.

This shot is at the beginning of the film, with not much shadowing on his face. It then progresses to the end of the film with the shot below with spreading darkness across his face to show his dark side getting worse and his evil side growing.

  1. Good ideas underpinning your shots Emily. Do you mean high key lighting for 'exposed lighting' in your second shot? 'Rembrandt' should have a capital r as it is after the artist's name. A few errors to correct.
