What we want to put into our production

• Technically due to the nature of our film and what we want to include within the opening sequence, we are mainly researching lighting. The lighting we use will either make or break our interrogation scene, its of high importance to make this scene realistic due to it being the foundation of the film.

Low Key Lighting

This is a good explain of what we want to achieve due to the highlights in which the over

head light creates.The contrasts between the suspect and the interrogator are perfect therefore we will be

recreating them on set.

The key in this image is not just to produce a dark image but to use lighting very selectively so that onlyspecific portions of the image are illuminated. Normally the camera man will spend his time trying toavoid harsh shadows, especially on faces and around the subject’s eyes. For this reason, shooting lowkey can actually be a fun change of pace. Instead of avoiding intense shadows, you’ll have to considerthem as the primary element of the composition; one that defines the mood of the entire photograph.The trick then becomes manipulating your lighting and the positioning of your subject so that theshadows fall in just the right spots to create the look you want.
