Lighting

As my theatrical trailer is primarily realistic and set in exterior areas, I didn't focus entirely on artifical lighting. I did, however, use ambient lighting to my advantage. I planned the fighting scenes precisely on a sunny and bright day, as it was vital for the horizon shot for perfect shadows. Furthermore, I needed high-key ambient lighting to slightly blur out the girlfriend and make her seem almost heavenly whilst highly ambiguous.

I will however use harsh low-key artificial lighting for later shots which hold the utmost significance in my film.

Conclusively, I'm happy with the lighting in my theatrical trailer and believe it has sufficient meaning.
