Frances Ha Lighting Analysis

This short sequence is composed of 3 shots. The first shot of Frances has a hard light directed on her hair, which has spilled over a little on to her face. There is very little fill and the shadows appear quite dark, however we are still able to clearly see her face. The second shot shot a woman who appears to be sitting opposite Frances, and has the same light falling on to the left side of her face. She is also receiving some fill from the lamp in the background, making her face look lighter than Frances’, however there is still some shadow on her right cheek. The third shot shows a man and a woman sitting on a couch. The light from the ceiling acts a key light for both subjects, with some fill coming from the lamp seen in the previous shot.
