In this shot, the natural lighting makes the surroundings seem very safe and dreamlike - the sunshine spilling over the background reinforces the fact that it is a very familiar environment that creates comfort for Scarlett, as reinforced by her smile. This juxtaposes heavily with the darkness on the left side of the image - here, the lighting is darker and behind Scarlett, foreshadowing that something sinister is lurking, and catch up with her. This creates more suspense within the audience.
In this shot, Emma is in a very bright environment; however, the lighting is bland whilst it is natural. There is no sunshine, showing that Emma's world without Scarlett is dull - no colours are accentuated, and despite her environment seeming non-threatening and safe, it causes dramatic irony as something very sinister has happened only a small distance away from where she stands, and she has no idea.
This shot of the entrance to the woods has very dark lighting and serves as a suggestion to the audience that something evil will occur within them. They instantly feel uncomfortable at the sight of it, as it doesn't look at all like it would be a safe place. The scene also looks as though it has a very high contrast, creating a harsher image that further creates a dark and sullen atmosphere. The hard light also creates the same effect and further shows the location's imperfections and muddy, undesirable appearance.
The lighting in the background is very bright, and naturally sunny, directly contrasting to the darker shadows on Scarlett herself; this shows that something bad is creeping up on her; she is being targeted by something bad.
The dark shadows surrounding the stalker within this shot suggests that they're dangerous and evil; they are completely covered by shadows and looking out at the brighter lighting that Scarlett walks in. This juxtaposition further accentuates the harsh differences between the two of them.
In order to get the above shot, I crouched within the bushes - this allowed me to make the stalker's surroundings seem darker, as I could film from a position that did not allow a lot of light on the camera, as it was sheltered by leaves above. This helped me to create the direct contrast between the light and shadows of the stalker's and Scarlett's worlds. The below image is a photo taken of me whilst I was filming the shot; as seen, I did not use a tripod as I wanted the camera to be slightly shaky to give off a sense of instability on the stalker's part, as it was their POV.
The natural, attached shadow on Scarlett's face shows that she is not entirely aware about what is happening; she is still in the dark about the situation, and cannot yet see it clearly. The audience are tortured by the fact she doesn't know what is going to happen to her, and helpless against it.
At the end, the very dark and dull lighting that surrounds Scarlett accentuates the sinister and helpless reality of the situation; she is now completely unable to escape, and is powerless against the stalker that follows her.
