Lighting

 
The image depicts low key lighting and top lighting. The top lighting comes from above and it creates emphasis on the woman's features. Through this, the woman appears more glamorous. The low key lighting also creates a strong contrast of light and dark and easily helps to create dramatic shadows. Alternatively, the light coming from the top makes it look as if the light is coming from the sky and makes the scenario look almost angelic as if she is looking for aid. This could create religious allusions to her intentions.

The image uses high key lighting and top lighting. The use of the high key lighting depicts that the man is standing outside in a sunny day. The effect of this is that shadow is still created to highlight the man's sinister features but it also looks much more realistic rather than dramatic. The use of the top lighting also links into this as the lighting mainly comes from above, like the sun in the sky above. The usage of these lighting choices creates shadows under the man's eyes and chin which helps to accentuate his frown. This easily helps to give the man a villainous and scary look

The image shows the usage of under lighting and the use of high key lighting. The under lighting is evident as the lighting comes from below the subject and creates a sense of distortion and unrealism. This seems un-natural to the eye and easily helps to exaggerate the shock on the woman's face, this type of lighting is most commonly used in horror films which could be the reason for her apparent fright. The usage of the high key lighting is clear as there is the depiction of clear shadows behind the woman however there is not a huge contrast in light and dark so it is a very dimly lit scene which creates a sense of realism rather than drama.

This could make the audience question the intentions and thoughts of the man who looks confused and is holding a gun.

The lack of lighting also creates the moment much more intimate and private to the two characters.
