Honestly there WAS some REALLY effective use of lighting/colors in that film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we knew about that one from the trailers. The laser bolt being held in mid air by Kylo gives off some hardcore lens flare as Poe looks back over his shoulder at it, but aside from that it was very sparingly used. I've never had a problem with JJ's love of lens flares myself.

Fair call, I was being overly harsh saying they had 45% clunkers. Iron Man 2 is really the only absolute mess in my eyes but even that had fun stuff from Sam Rockwell and Mickey Rourke.

Also we are talking about an alien planet. Just because it's a lush, green planet doesn't mean there cannot be more than one sun in the system. From what I remember of that TIE fighter shot, there was at least another celestial object in the sky, probably a moon. Edit: Or the planet's rotation could be slower, so the whole scene takes place in one morning. There could be loads of other variations that could cause the light to stay relatively constant. The point is we are arguing about something that could be easily explained by making something up that no one can disprove. Honestly, most of the lighting was fine - top notch even - but that one magic hour shot does stick out like dog's balls. And sure, anything can be explained outside the text of any film, but that's not what good visual storytelling is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arya442 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Honestly the lens flare thing is something that I never notice, until someone else points it out to me. And then I cannot unsee it. I don't really care still, but I do notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
