I especially like the way Arnold uses light in her work. She often uses natural flares.
(Fish Tank)
I like how the light covers the character, and acts as a shield between the audience and the scene. It "blinds the audience", and creates a second of unknown. I want to use a shot like this for when Brett comes home. I want to create a sense of mystery for the audience as the door opens, and they see a flare, followed by a silhouette. I think it will be more effective if the camera shots are as basic as possible, so that Sarah's vision, which we will create in the editing stage, will have more of a contrast and therefore, a bigger impact on our audience.
