Lighting Assignment

Film: Dr. Strange (2016)

Director: Scott Derrickson

Cinematographer: Ben Davis

Logline: A doctor who was injured in a car accident seeks out paranormal help and ends up becoming a sorcerer and protector to a hidden world.

In this specific scene, The Ancient One shows Strange the hidden world that he is blind to. The lighting in the scene changes to match the dimension that Strange is thrown through. A specific example is when Strange goes to the dimension with the multiple hands and the lighting matches how creepy this is by giving the dimension a very dimmed appearance. Around a 1:32, there is a complete focus on a giant hole of light which leads to another dimension and the lighting darkens so there is only a center of focus on said portal.
