Analysis of still image: Lighting:

In this still image, we see a number of lighting techniques. One of these include extreme low-key lighting. By using low-key lighting, there is a very strong contrast between light and darkness which creates an effect of chiaroscuro.Another interpretation of using low-key lighting is that it connotes that this character has a deep and dark personality. Top lighting has also been used in this still image to show the actors facial features and seeing as the setting is in a bathroom, the lighting is expected to come down from the top. Since this film is shot in neo film-noir style, everything is black and white and the plasters are highlighted so audiences can identify this genre. Another interpretation would be that the top lighting is making the plasters light so that emphisis that the character hurt is more obvious.
