In this image from the series called 'Stranger Things' the lighting sets a really cold and dark mood. The set dressing- the rain, fog, and plants- give the black background even more tense, scary feeling. The colour palette is definitely cold- blues and greens.
The actors are in a balanced shot- characters placed in 2, spread evenly through the shot, there is no movement. Actually the actors' face expressions and tense posture might suggest they are 'frozen' in place (they seem to be scared of what they are looking at).
Most of the actors holds a flashlight or a bat, they're also wearing coats, which tells us that the scene takes place at night, maybe in autumn or winter.
In this extract from the film 'Grease' the main 3 girls are clearly representing the stereotypical image of girls in high school- pink blouses with words 'pink ladies' at the back, pink car, make up and hair neatly done, a resolution to 'rule the school'.
It's a definite ambient lighting, the sunlight making it a little bit of a high key lighting; the set is really bright with the sun shinning above the characters, that are very cheerful and excited about their plans for the school year.
At the beginning we see a lot of cars, and students walking around, the first lesson is about to start.
This extract has a lot of different shots and locations, we can't really tell who is the main character here.
Most of the actors are wearing business clothes, they clearly working in a magazine. The- I suppose- main character is the only one who's not dressed properly, what clearly make her and everyone around her uncomfortable. She seems very stressed as she can see it herself that she doesn't belong there.
There are a lot of close ups, we can see all of the people in the office getting ready for the arrival of their boss, that is clearly very important.
We can tell that by her costume, her confidence, people getting out of her way or a lady walking out of an elevator.
There are a lot of set dressing, as well as props, like a sparkling water being poured into a glass, or shoes that one of the coworkers where changing to heels.
At the beginning we can see a really good example of low key light- really dark set up, almost no lighting.
The characters are clearly drunk, especially the boy, seeing as he's tripping over almost all the time and then falls asleep on the beach.
The girl gets onto the sea and swims around peacefully, as we could see at the beginning, but then the camera angle changes, and dramatic music starts to play. Now we can see the scene from shark's perspective when he attacks the girl.
