Lighting Ideas
I love this image from Casino because I really like the lighting in it. The single light shining down on a table of 'gangsters' in complete darkness is very effective in illustrating who the most important character is. It is also a demonstration of chiaroscuro lighting because it shows a strong contrast between dark and light and could be suggesting a strong contrast in the good and bad within a characters personality. However, it only allows the audience to see parts of the face and not the entire face, this is used as an enigma code. By hiding parts of the face, it doesn't allow the audience to completely identify the character. I think this kind of lighting would look amazing in our thriller opening as it would hide some of the characters and give an enigmatic feel to the scene.
