So why we have time on our hands, we turn to the medium of film or television series to keep us sane and occupied. Whilst watching Clint Eastwoods Gran Tarino film this afternoon, I started to notice how cinema can inspire you with how scenes our lit to produce different kinds of drama or narrative in the scene.

This particular scene is where Walt (Eastwood) is talking to the father about how he going to sort the issue. The picture above is rudely cropped but the scene had great use of negative space and slight lighting onto Walts’s face. That small triangle of light on his left side of the face, where his eyes are slightly closed and face is showing a sense of frustration and anger. Lighting enhanced this scene to complement how angry Walt was feeling with himself.
