Lighting - Chris Cunningham


In one of Chris Cunningham's most recognisable videos 'Rubber Johnny' the lighting is extremely low key and night vision is also used which creates a greenish tint, when a light is turned on in the video it is still very low key and really its only purpose is to illuminate the characters within the video. The lighting itself creates an enigma staight away however the lighting also sets the scene for the audience explaining the characters where abouts giving subtle hints as to where the character is suppose to be (in a basement or hidden room). Low key lighting also suggests: something unknown; makes the audience more curious as to whats happening and also connotes some element of horror.
