In the scene I chose, Brad Pitt plays Tyler Durden a soap maker and Edward Norton as Jack a business man who is tired of his old boring life in Fight club. The movie was directed by David Fincher, The cinematographer –Jeff Cronenweth, Film editor James Haygood, Production Design-Alex McDowell, Art Direction- Chris Gorak and Costume Design by Michael Kaplan. The Set director by Jay Hart, all of these people where responsible in making this successful movie. He or she is responsible for the images that the camera sees, and by extension the images that the audience will see in the finished film, this is the main job of the cinematographer. (4.2 What is a Cinematographer, 2011,. Film: From Watching to Seeing)
What is a Mise en scene do? The mise en scène is interpreted and intensified by the cinematographer, and one key element—the lighting—is designed by the cinematographer. (4.3 How does Mis en scene Relate to Cinematographer? . (2011. Film: From Watching to Seeing)

The lighting in this particular scene in Fight Club where Jack (Edward Norton) meets Tyler (Brad Pitt) on an air plane is bright but not too bright just like a real airplane. The lighting is dark around their faces close up. The movie almost gives the characters a secretive and mysterious look. The mood the light evokes is relatively calm, the people in the back ground are quite to make the viewers aware of their conversation.

The film maker in this case, I believe, tells the viewers that the men are curious about what each other do. Leaving a mysterious impression about Tyler and what he does for a living. The two men meet and discuss their interesting views of life and what they do.
The setting is in an airplane, around night time because it is the windows in the airplane are dark making the impression that it is night time. The movie takes place in the modern word in the United States. Both of the characters are on a business trip.

As far as their costuming, Tyler (brad Pitt) is in a

Would you do anything differently in terms of lighting if you were designing the scene? – A scene from the show “Breaking Bad” in the scene, the main characters are in an Indian reservation in a shootout with a couple gangsters, the scene uses darker but at the same time lighter colors to represent that there will be danger coming soon.

    In the case of Alicia Huberman (Ingrid Bergman), her father’s prison sentence leaves her skeptical of others, yet longing for a new companion in her life. She has a reliance on alcohol to wash her troubles away. R. Devlin’s (Cary Grant) a stranger from the party, a very mystery man. The Party takes place at Miami, FL. The camera pans right across Cary Grant’s back and comes to rest behind his right shoulder. The camera is placed behind and to the right of Cary Grant who is sitting and facing away from the camera. In the immediate foreground masking out a small portion of the bottom left corner of the frame is the silhouette of Cary Grant’s right shoulder and part of his head. This establishes that it is a tacitly objective shot from the point of view of Cary Grant. As we move to the right though the frame in the foreground Ingrid Bergman is sitting facing towards Cary Grant and the camera at eye level. It is a medium shot from her navel up and she sits nearly in the center of the frame in front of Cary Grant. Their relation relative to each other is conclusive of a possible a romance and long lasting connection. In the background dividing the frame in half behind Ingrid Bergman is a couple dancing. Finally, in the foreground on the right side of the frame sits a man who is profiled and masks out about a third of the bottom half of the frame. The significance of the guests framed is they act as a sort of mask leading our eyes to Ingrid Bergman’s glances and expressions toward Cary Grant in the foreground of the frame. , the shot establishes Cary Grant’s role as a man of mystery and foreshadows an element of romance between Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant.…

    A movie is not just a motion picture, it is an art form. An art form that is put together by many shots and with that several shots it makes a scene.
