The Dark Night

I decided to watch the latest of the batman movies the "Dark Knight". The movies theme was a kind of dark and shadowy. With out the great framing, lighting and other technical choices this movie wouldn't have been the success it is today. The lighting in the different scenes in the movie gave it a more enhanced drastic feel to it. If the lighting in certain scenes such as the last scene was made on the lighter side and with less shadow the feeling of drama and deireness would have been completely demolished ruining the perception of the scene. The framing also helped a lot with the making of the movie. Well made choices in shot range giving the reader more detail views of the scene or specific object. Also close-ups on characters stress the  emotion in the face letting the reader understand the intensity of the characters feelings. I learned that just framing and lighting alone can make a huge difference in the way the movie is perceived.
