The different shots and lighting tones reflect the different directions of the story and the characters.
Abstract
The author wanted to look at the language of the shots, and the lighting, and how they guide the audience, how different shots bring different characters to life, and how the lighting does too, how they give the audience a sense of what is going on in the mind first: the plot is going to change here, this character is so oppressive. This study is not intended to be limited to animated films, but to cover all types of films, and through this study it will be possible to have a better understanding of shots and lighting, and thus to make more progress in the production of short films. The authors will achieve their goal by analysing typical shots, lighting and referencing examples of films.
