Moving Image Lighting Analysis

The Dark Knight (Batman)

The use of lighting in this trailer is key to the audience identifying the good characters from the bad, in that the lighting used allows the audience to know who is who, to differentiate between protagonist and antogonist.

For example the lighting used on batman's face as opposed to joker's face connotes that he is the protagonist. However the light used on the joker's face, which is mostly dark and shadowy connotes that he is the antagonist.

The trailer as a whole is shot mostly using low key lighting, which in a sense, could connote that there is more bad than good in this film.
