Lights! Camera! Capture!

2 lights are used in this scene. 1 light is placed at the bottom center, behind the bars, thus creating its shadow on the floor. Another light is coming from the left hand side which is highlighting Bruce Willis's left profile, specially his hand and also the letter can be seen prominently.

Only 1 light is used in this shot which is coming from the top.

In this shot 2 lights have been used. 1 from the right hand side which is clearly highlighting Clive Owen's right side profile, especially his eyes. The other light is coming from the bottom left hand corner which is highlighting his left side profile and also putting light on the dashboard of the car. The light visible behind is the headlight of the cop's car.

In this shot, 2 lights have been used. 1 is coming from the left while the other is coming from the right. Each is highlighting the side profile of Elijah Wood.

Only 1 light is used in this shot. The light is placed behind the object in bottom right corner.

In this shot, 2 lights are used. 1 light is coming from the right side which is highlighting the little girl and the chair on which she is seated. In this scene, we can see the shadow of the person falling on the wall. For this effect, another light has been used from behind the person so that his shadow is created.

2 lights are used in this scene. 1 light is that of the bulb which can be seen on the top. Its highlighting the door, the brick wall and the floor. Another light is falling from above on Mickey Rourke which is highlighting his cloak.

In this scene, we can see the shadow of Mickey Rourke drinking beer from a bottle. This shadow is falling on the inner window pane. What we see in this frame is a shot of the window from outside. 1 light is kept inside the room. He is standing near the window and the light is coming from the back of the room, from the bottom right corner as the intensity of light is more on the right side than on the left. Also, a dim light is used from the outside as we can see the outline of the window clearly.

In this shot, 2 lights are used. 1 light from the right hand side which is highlighting Elijah Wood's right side profile and is creating his shadow on the door. There is another light coming from the left hand side which is highlighting his left side profile. The glare on his spects remains a mystery to me. I might be completely wrong here, but I think the lenses have been covered with some florescent paper or any such material, because if that was light, then the light should have fallen on his face too, which is not the case.

2 lights are used in this particular underwater scene. 1 light is placed at the back, which is highlighting the water bubbles in the lower half part of the frame. There is another light coming from the top which is highlighting Mickey Rourke's clothes and the bubbles in the upper half part of the frame.
