For the look of my film, I decided to go for a more indie, grungy type of aesthetic with lots of blue hues and chiaroscuro lighting for different characters. I looked for different inspiration from other short films and feature length films with similar colour schemes, genre or theme. Most are taken from filmcinematography.tumblr.com
