If a shot is not well lit it’s almost useless.

The lighting department work closely with the cinematographer to create the right look for each shot.

Creative Intention:

‘To explore a range of lighting set ups in a studio setting.’

Reflect on the impact different lighting states can have on the meaning communicated.
