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.
Good reflection on your production choices.
