I was really attracted to the idea that the group that had Max and Matt. Drawing from a lot of inspirations from Blade Runner and The Dark Knight, I could tell that, in conjunction with their talent, that their proposed science fiction idea was going to be well put. The plan was simple and well thought out. That was confidence inspiring to me that they could pull off the project. As someone who is a big fan of Roger Deakin’s work in Blade Runner, where the lighting is very simple and minimalistic, I can see the shot being very clean and impactful. 

A simple and very subtle way that Blade Runner causes tension, in which was something that I did not realise at first, is a slight off balance from the horizon line in the framing. I think that in these small details that were utilise in throughout the whole film all add up to great intensity that is protrayed in the film. In addition, slight camera movements such as a dolly in will also help create the desired tension that they wish to achieve in their project. 

If they could think of an interesting way of distorting lighting to create a nice and aesthetic visual effect in an almost empty room, that would be really cool.  Hazing the room with smoke is also a cool idea to texturize the light. 

Using a combination of camera work, the appropriate framing and lighting, there is no doubt the group can achieve the look that they are planning for. These are all techniques that are utilised in Blade Runner, which is perfectly fine to replicate, but it will be interesting to see how the group will put their own unique twist in it. Hopefully the group is able to pull off a suitable lighting technique that can complement the intensity of the narrative in the scene they wish to light.
