Still image
The still image I have chosen is from the movie Wrong Turn and shows one of the cannibals. In this image low-key lighting is used to create a dark tone as it is a horror movie as well as a chiaroscuro effect. Also to create a dramaic effect, under lighting and side lighting is used as half of the face is hidden in shadow but the other half is shown clearly so the features of the cannibal are seen allowing us to experience a shock and a sense of mystery as if they revealed all it wouldn't have much of an effect on the audience that a horror movie should have.
Film Extract
In this extract from 8 Mile, there's a lot of back lighting making the character hidden and mysterious as well as underlighting with a low angle shot making Eminem the dominant charcter and top lighting which focus on the expressions of the character(s) with eye-level shot used to shows the charcters as we would see them real life matching with the expressions. Also the light from the fire which is orange/red shows a warm effect which could connote tension and anger as seen through their action of burning down the house.
