Analysis with MES....Period

a) The lighting is fairly intense a ahs a red filter to make it even more gripping.
b) The monochrome filter shows the darkness and scary/creepy vibe given off.
c) The bright lighting and the nature of the characters shows that is either a comical scene or like a chick flick showing.
d)the silhouette effect like shadowing gives of a creepy vibe of someone watching or hiding from someone, And is about to strike.
e) The fact that they are in dim lighting shows they are indoors or in a intense scene. Also the fact that they are highlighted buy the spotlight shows how they are doing something either funny or scary.
