Mise en scene

The use of high key lighting emphasises the dramatic vibrant colours which contrast form each other. In this scene the lighting is empowering. The focus is mainly of the Tiger due to it being well lit more so than Pi. The main key light on the lions face draws the audience to the fierce facial expression which is partly why this shot is so empowering.

The secluded setting underlines the situation of the two characters which are lost out at sea together. The characters positioning in the frame seems closer than it actually is and you could almost connote from their body language that they are a team and working together. This is also underlined by the two shot. The body language of the characters is similar as both seem to be looking into the distance almost mimicking each other as if they were companions.
