The lighting in this movie has terrible lighting for most of the film but especially this scene alone. The shadows are too harsh and not realistic determining that they are in the car and the moon is the source of light which does not light inside of the car from where it is in the sky. The lighting is very bad in itself, sometimes you cannot de-picture what is going on because you cannot see, given it is trying to be a "scary" movie it is not given justice on lighting what should be lit. There is a random orange light that comes in and out, which I am guessing maybe streetlights that they are driving under but at times the become overpowering by blinding the scene and end up being distracting while the action in the scene is distracting already enough.
In the first picture alone there is amazing lighting contrast between the sky, the earth and human objects. Sets a clear picture and clear tone with a beautiful image to set the mood of the picture. The lighting contrast between the dark sky and the white snow is visually pleasing to the eye and completely lights up the screen. It sets a very emotional tone of purity for the picture. When edward is in the bedroom trying to fall asleep at night and the room is lit by the fish lamp from the tanks and the moving stars surrounding him, the room is lit perfectly of what the natural light would be as if it was in a real house. You can always tell where the sun is coming from in each scene of the movie depicted by the shadows and lighting contrast. An extreme example of this would be when edward is getting arrested and the usage of shadows within the scene showing where the spot light is from the cop cars and lighting of his contours giving him a shadow like appearance. And again when he is carving the sculpture. The contrast of the dark night with the ice stands out alone but while adding the moon light gives the scene a dramatic feeling.
