Lighting

Low-key lighting

Strong contrast between dark and light (chiaroscuro)- creates a dramatic effect.

The key light is mainly on the right side of the characters face. There is some back lighting. The atmosphere is like a film noir movie, the lighting helps us interpret that the still shot may be taken from a crime scene. The characters expression is very mysterious and the shadows help emphasis that.

Top lighting- this emphasises her beauty and makes her appear like a star and look more glamorous. From what we can see there is no other lighting. The background is almost black and the only visible thing in the still shot is the characters face and a bit of her hands.

there aren't many shadows being created. However, there are shadows under the characters eyes, which suggests that top lighting is being used. The use of this top light creates an aggressive facial expression.

The use of low-key lighting helps create a dark mysterious atmosphere.  There is lighting coming from the back to show the rain. Furthermore there's some sort of light reflecting on the gun, which may be a filler light and there's also a light coming from the left side which helps light one side of his face.
