So the last of the pursuit was left with, lets be honest, less then okay lighting, minimal and highly repeated props and repetitive textures (especially on the walls). So I have around 2 weeks to turn this project around and most importantly, get it ready to render as soon as the team congregates after the Easter break.
Firstly I began revising the lighting as this will dictate what detail will be needed where, for example, it would be pointless having a high quality graffiti design plastered all over a wall hidden in shadow. To keep the lighting realistic, I wanted the scene to be lit mostly from sources seen by the viewer. So in this case, the street lights/lanterns. Theoretically this should also be inkeeping with the Caludia's (director) pre-production of colour keys and schemes she desires for her film.

As you can see here, the difference of lit and shadowed areas are emphasized and extreme. Therefore, lighting the scene through the positioning of the street lights should be ideal. However, the shadows need to be light enough to ensure that all action is seen at all times and not hidden through lack of light. Therefore, ambient lights coloured dark blue and navy are placed above each alley in order to facilitate this. This gives the following result:
A slight fog has also been added to the spotlight rooting from the center of the street light to help emphasize the light rays making the source of light obvious to the viewer.
