Lighting in Other media products.



I have used the film Monster-in-law which is a romantic comedy, even though its got comedy in the film it still is combined with the romantic genre, the romantic genre is constantly hinted our through lighting throghout the film, such as the beach scenes, where the natural sun and shadows make the set glow like most beaches do, however taking into consideration this is a mainstream hollywood production, we know some artificial lighting must have been added or the lighting in the shots have been altered, however, the natural 'look' is what creates this realism. This creates a realistic effect and we reflect this kind of realism on the couple that their love is, real. Similarly to our film, we hope to work in similar ways by allowing the natural light to come in through the windows in the room to show the nature of herself, her actions and in contrast to monster-in-law we plan to have the character switch the light on showing her love is not real through the (natural lighting) but fake, through the artificial room lights that she will switch on in the film.
At other times ambient lighting is used, the colour walls are a warm yellow which is combined with the light to create warm brightness in the room, which reflects on the closeness and comfort of the two being together. similarly we plan to use this intergration of soft colours in the day dream scene, where the colours blend and are not harsh, this is to highlight Delilah's 'ideal' perfect world.
