Hospital escape
This sequence was pretty challenging to work on! We needed to feel the stress of Joe and 22 potentially getting caught as they sneak out. In order to do so, I made it so they are totally exposed with a really flat lighting along the hallways. The evenness of the lighting made it feel like a labyrinth they needed to escape from, every right or left turn looking exactly like the previous one.
Another thing that I wanted to play with was staying within a tight range of warm artificial light temperature, implying there is no natural light from the outside anywhere to be seen, the exit proving difficult to find.
Hopefully this helps build up the tension, almost like holding your breath. Once they get down to the lobby there is a release with all the cool natural light coming from the outside. The sets team made this great decision to put this sort of semi transparent sticker on the front doors that make them look almost like sanded glass. This provided a great opportunity to make all the light come in very softly, almost acting like a diffuser, and also, building the anticipation for the next sequence, with a lot of violently moving blurry masses out in the street.
