The document discusses the lighting techniques used in Nina Nesbit's artwork "Stay Out". It describes how the lighting in the first scene is balanced around the room to not draw attention to specific objects and allow the audience to relate more to the scene. The second scene uses low-key lighting to highlight part of a building and give the impression of night time in an urban setting. The third scene uses very dark, low-key lighting to give the impression of being in a nightclub, with red lighting and a difficult to make out scene.

1. Nina Nesbit ‘Stay Out’- Lighting
This lighting is simple, it doesn't draw
our attention to specific objects, it is
a equal balance around the room.
This is important as it allows the
audience to relate more to the scene
and not find the scene disorientated
in a sense.
This scene is perhaps meant to be lit
by street lights, and the contribution
from the shop windows. The windows
have high key lighting and it draws the
audience attention, it adds to the
mise-en-scene, city type atmosphere,
this scene gives the impression it is set
in an urban setting.

2. Nina Nesbit ‘Stay Out’- Lighting
The lighting in this picture highlights
part of the building, leaving the rest
almost pitch black, it gives the
impression its night time, and yet
again giving the urban
representation, this is known as low
key lighting, with only a few features
on show and lit up, visible.
This scene came after the one on the
right, to me it gives the impression
that it has got lighter, this doesn’t
quite fit with the storyline and
narrative, I have concluded that time
has passed and it has got lighter, this
helps towards the narrative as it
illustrates time passing.

3. Nina Nesbit ‘Stay Out’ - Lighting
This lighting is very dark, this scene
with low key lighting gives the
impression that the scene is set in a
night club, the red lighting indicates
that it is in a night club, a dance floor
with bright lights. The lighting
means that it is difficult to make out
characters, this means that the scene
is slightly disorientated towards the
viewer.
This is high key lighting, bright lighting,
allows us to see every aspect, it
highlights the characters facial
features, making it more personal as
we can understand them more.
