Extension task 2- image and extract

This is an still image from the film noir genre.

The main lighting used here is high-key lighting which can connote happyness and mystery, also puts pictures in the audiences heads about who is the hero and the villain, however when the small occurence of low-key lighting is used it used on half the characters faces, which can connote mystery and suspense for the audience, also the contrast of lighting in one picture is the description of the term Binary.

Also the main source of lighting used is back lighting, this is done to show the Binary in the characters faces and creates shadows however this is countered by Filler light, also the Binary infers to the audience that both of these characters may be villains as the dark clothing also suggests this.

However at 25 seconds of the extract, during the intercourse the main lighting used is low-key lighting which can connote a sense of uncertainty and mystery, and slso is a kind of juxtaposition as smoke also occurs when they are having intercourse and possibly suggests that they are villains.
