"Shutter Island"

A break from The Lovely Bones, and time for a screencap from Shutter Island.

Since I discovered my new quicktime techniques this morning, I've finally uploaded this screencap from the neweset trailer for the film; I've been wanting to upload this shot for a while now.

This film is going to be so much like a noir film in it's lighting approach and it's shown here. There's the classic Richardson lighting in the center of the room with the main light shining down. It's cool because the main light is probably coming through the vent in the ceiling, so it can be disguised. Richardson has lights shooting through the windows too which produces a very soft light on the walls.

The cool thing about the lights on the ceiling is that they are all on, but Richardson must have rigged up something where they only shine from the top, as they produce the patterned lighting above.

I'll upload another screencap from this trailer that has more noir lighting.
