I chose lighting because I believe this is a key component in film development. It can change and alter the way we see things, which I feel can impact the entire film itself.

I hope to explore in more depth lighting through my essay as I know not only through techniques and representation, lighting can effect emotion as well.

Through further development of lighting I may use examples from filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese, as he uses backlighting, harsh lighting and internal lighting such as lamps etc to the extreme and Wes Anderson, as I believe he uses colour to enhance his lighting and changes the way we see and feel them.
