‘Spotlight’ Tom McCarthy
This film is based off a true story on a scandal of child molestation. Theres a Catholic church that was involved in this and its very promenant in the opening scene. Being at a catholic church, this adds drama and will make the audience feel more attached. There were also scenes in Fenway Park, the Boston – Globe offices. Many movies in the drama, thriller genre are filmed in public locations or well known areas. From research, I’ve noticed it brings a more iconic feel to the movie and allows fans to go and visit where filming took place.
All locations in the opening scene had dimmed lighting and used ‘natural’ lighting as their main source. Further into the film, the actors attend a Red Sox game. This brought real life into the movies.
