Displaced

The film Displaced is about a father and son hiding in the basement of a jazz club in Paris. It's a fairly long "short" film, but it contains some very visually compelling shots throughout. The shots that I really like are the ones that take place inside the jazz club. Most of the shots feature a red and amber color palette, which makes the club feel warm and inviting. When contrasted with the darker, cooler shots of other places in the film it makes the club feel like a very "homey" place that you would want to come in to off of a cold street.

There also a lot of practical lights in some of the club shots, and I feel like that creates a lot of interesting lighting situations as the DP has to try and match the lighting with the practicals so that the studio lighting is not obvious. In this case, I feel like the DP did a good job of achieving this effect.
