This shot shows Enokizu and Haru in the cinema as a public service announcement plays before the film they’ve went to see informing members of the public about Enokizu and asking them to aid the authorities in his capture. I chose to analyse this shot because there is also a shot of Travis Bickle in the cinema in the film Taxi Driver.
In this shot the light on them is supposed to look like the reflected light from the cinema screen and the key light source is coming from a similar place to where it would be coming from if it were real life people in a cinema. It is a very dull light and very realistic, but upon closer inspection there seems to be more going on with the lighting in this shot than what is first apparent. For example, as in the other shot analysed above, Haru is more brightly lit than Enokizu. At this intense moment both of the character’s eyes are visible as well, which is very interesting considering how shadowy the light is as a whole. There is just enough light around the rest of the cinema to see the other people in the Cinema, including the blur of another person’s face in the foreground. You cannot see the room very well as it seems to be in darkness. There is a touch of light on one wall in the cinema.
