By combining the methods used in the two movies a
director would achieve a much better result with lighting. By drawing the color
pallet and intensities used in Zeffireli version the director would achieve a
depressed and darkened mood that is extenuated from the characters’ feelings
and opinions without being too bright. The dull tones of grays and whites and
blacks will prove extremely successful in bringing the audience into the
current atmosphere and set a somber tone within the space. Also, by replacing
the lack of illumination of actors with a sufficient amount of illumination,
making the actors visible, while maintaining the darker tone of the scene.
Also, by replacing the extensive use of highlighting symbolic items with the
unobtrusive lighting to set mood shown in the Almereyda’s version, retain the
focus on the actors and the message they convey through their lines without the
flashing arrows proclaiming, “symbol here” that highlighting this symbols
provide.
