LIGHT:

We are a species that seeks shelter, living in an urban society in which light is regulated; we move from box to box inside boxes, to work with boxes. Access to sunshine requires outdoor locations, and we venture out cautiously equipped with shades and sunblock - like moths to a flame. Humanity’s relationship with light is about control, and the writer should exploit this fact. Light conveys information in regard to form, space, colour, tone, patterning, texture, movement, etc; and assists in the determination of MOOD and ATMOSPHERE.

Being a medium of light and dark, the filmmaker's art is clearly revealed in the way structures in space and time 'come to light' by exploring two variables, HARMONY (likeness) and CONTRAST (difference). These elements can appear in any dimension of the film - in spatial relationships, patterns, movement, metaphors, time intervals, emotional/intellectual content, colour and sound.
