Continuing on, the lighting in the movie, Finding Forrester, emphasises how William Forrester has been living and feeling since the death of his brother. The scenes created in Forrester’s apartment remain, for the most part, in the dark. The darkness expresses that deeper, unsaid emotion Forrester is holding on to. Consequently, it gives Forrester a new attitude when he is by himself versus when Jamal is there. One night, Jamal takes Forrester to a basketball game, trying to pull Forrester away of his apartment allowing him to enjoy the activities he once did when he was younger. The night consisted of streetlights and stars when Forrester continually asks if it is light outside before they leave, and when he does walk out, he wears a hat and

A discovery encompasses the experiences made by an individual who explores and questions what is known and understood about the world. These types of discoveries can lead to significant ramifications such as transformative perspectives and connect with the universality of specific concepts. The Australian play by Michael Gow, ‘Away’ and short film ‘Time’ express these ideas through their different forms and representations of themes such as the influence of nature and the cyclical nature of different discoveries. Thus opportunities to discover are offered to individuals throughout their lives, allowing their desires to discover to be achieved.

Lighting is also used to tell the dramatic state of mind of a character, as is the case with Private Eriksson in Casualties of War. Eriksson suffers an injury from combat and taken to a hospitable. Shadows from the fan blowing on him go around his face in a rapid motion. As this is shown, Eriksson dreams of hearing the screams of the Vietnamese woman who was killed by Sergeant Meserve. As the screams increase in volume, the shadows from the fan go around Eriksson's face at a faster pace. Right when the screams and shadows reach their height in intensity, Eriksson wakes up from his dream. With this expressionistic use of lighting, it allows the audience to see how much of an impact the murder of the Vietnamese woman had on Eriksson.

The 1964 film Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, directed by Stanley Kubrick, depicts the overlying themes of the Cold War in a comedic fashion. This film’s full embodiment of the Cold War is seen through its representation of the time period, and the sheer competitiveness between the United States and Russia.

ichael Faughnan English 300w A03 Ophelia’s Death was real Throughout Pan’s labyrinth the main character Ophelia, shows no fear in her decision-making. When put in situations in which most young girls would conform to their superiors, Ophelia is able to stick her gut and do what she thinks is right.

The lighting being used is side lighting. There’s a brighter side to the room that reflects on one side of the characters’ faces. The lighting helps explain that they are in dark times in their lives. It helps the audience see how Amelia’s sleep deprived that is shown earlier throughout the movie that she couldn’t wake up after her alarm rung. She struggled to get out of her bed and she put the alarm on snooze. The frame composition is tight framing that reflects a mother and her son hugging her, but how uncomfortable the moment is.

and this is also achieved by having the man look right at the camera. As he speaks, the camera slowly pulls out and then we start to see a slight increase in the surrounding detail of the scene. We can now see part of the back and side of the Godfather, (Marlon Brando) but still we have only a slight highlight on his side, and no detail. Now the man gets up and moves to Brando’s side, and he too is in complete shadow; we can only really make out the fact that there are two figures present here, no more. Then the shot changes as the man leaves the Godfather’s side, and it is a revealing frontal MCU of Brando. This shot is lit much more than the previous shot. Where the other shot’s background was pitch black, this shot is lit so that almost the whole space and all objects in it are visible. Brando has a key, fill and backlight on him, and his character is revealed with much intensity because of the dramatic light change from shot to shot. When the shot comes back to the man, in an over the shoulder (Brando) style, again the backround is totally black. Having the man in that particular lighting, and having Brando lit the way he is serves two psychological purposes. First, having the constant black background behind the man isolates his problem and makes us aware of how consumed he is with his problem.

In this scene Latika is wearing a yellow scarf around her head given to her by Salim. In this scene Jamal lifts back the yellow scarf from Latika’s face, this symbolises all the hope that Jamal and Latika had for finding each other had finally paid off. The yellow also tells the audience that this is a positive moment because Jamal and Latika are finally together because it is their destiny. “ ‘This is our destiny.’ ‘Kiss me.’ “ Lighting is a visual technique used in films to dramatically show deeper ideas. In the film Slumdog Millionaire the deeper idea of destiny is developed through the use of lighting techniques such as backlighting and floodlighting. In the scene where Jamal is on the game show he is sitting opposite Prem in the centre of the stage backlighting is used to create dramatic shadows on the audience while floodlights cast a bright dramatic light on Jamal at centre stage. From the shadows blacking out the audience it is shown that Jamal is on his own and separated from the people around him. He is left to answer the questions by himself. The floodlighting illuminating the centre of the stage represents the immense pressure from everyone watching him to get the answers right. When Jamal answers the questions correctly the lighting changes and spreads around the set and across the audience allowing everything to be visible for a few moments signifying the pressure lifting. As he gets closer to the final question the colours of the
