This interview style show was a great opportunity to work with simple, precisely focused areas. The idea was for the lighting itself to feel sterile and ominously simple. Different temperatures of white light were used to contribute to the mood of the scenes.
The chase scene in the woods was lit with highly saturated oranges to add a sense of urgency and danger. A cool white spotlight was used to separate the narrator from the scene around her.
Intense backlight was used for the haunting Norma Pike scene to add a ghostly feel to her character’s appearance.
