Lighting- Scene oneThe first shot we took had to show the audience the level of secrecy and privacy from what the male protagonist is saying and by his actions, the fact that he might be getting watched. Because of this we needed to highlight the fact that the job in hand is dangerous and secretive but isn’t necessarily bad. Because of this, the lighting that surrounds him is darker to show the secrecy of the meeting but by having the lighting highlight his face it shows the character as being innocent and good and shows the binary opposite of light and dark. While the place is in secret and what he is offering is dangerous, the character himself is pure and his actions are actually meant for good purposes. Enigma here can be applied to what he is hiding from and why the place in question is so secret.

Scene 2:This is the beginning of the chase scene where we see the protagonist running away from two antagonists and finally getting caught. Because of the fact the protagonist has emerged from the light and is entering a darker, more rough looking area where he is then caught and killed, because of this the lighting was key in order to show the transition between the two different areas. Because of this, the protagonist starts by emerging from a bright beam of light to show the safety of the outside and the purity of the character and then having the area he runs into appear a lot darker to show the binary opposites and also in able for enigma to be applied as to what is going to happen to the antagonist when he is deeper within the tunnel and out of this safety zone in the light.

With this shot we took away the lighting as we wanted this shot to appear, just like the first scene, to be done in secret as if the protagonist is hiding away and it’s personal between her and the camera. With the white background we wanted to establish the character as being good and innocent but the lighting used shows the secrecy and the intimacy between the audience and the female character. Here it shows the binary opposites between the white of the background and the darkness of the lighting, showing the dark that is slowly draining through her.
