Hi Terry,

When I was watching that last scene with Locke and Boone, I could not help but notice the dramatic lighting effect, especially with regards to Locke's face. It was the way the "fire" cast both shadows and light on Locke as he was speaking.

Were you purposely trying to position your head to get that effect? of was the lighting director moving lamps around?

I've heard how lighting can amplify the mood of a scene, but that last footage went beyond that. It was well done.

Mowohlee, The lighting effects are strictly in the hand of the director of photography (DOP). After we rehearse the scene, the DOP and his crew will set up the lights to have the best effect, based on what they saw in rehearsal. After that it's the actors' responsibility to be on the proper mark and at the proper angles to use the lighting effects the way they were intended, and if the actor misses it, well......................................we do it again.
Thank you for your interest. Terry

Hmm, thanks for the answer Terry.

What struck me was the way your face was at one point, partially in the light, and partially in the darkness. I don't know if the DOP was trying to make a statement there, but I thought that was very symbolic of the character of Locke.
