Lighting

The lighting used in The Revanant (Dir. Alejandro González Iñárritu, 2015), is incredibly impressive as there were no artificial lights used whatsoever, meaning that Iñárritu had a very specific window in which to  get the shot he needed, as he could not control the light around him. However, this challenging task paid off in the long run as the movie was critically acclaimed for its use of natural light, and even won cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki an Oscar. It is clear to see how this film’s cinematography differs from that of an artificially lighted film. This creates the effect of realism and gives the film a very low key and dark palate full of blues and blacks.
