Hitch
In this scene we can see dim lighting (low key lighting) which can connote love or a romantic scene. We can see that the characters are facing each other in toast, which could show that it is inevitable that they end up together (if they aren't already). There is a use of side lighting but very dimly. There is filler light but deliberately not too much to kill out shadows as shadows can show romance in some instances.
Elf
In this scene there is a medium shot to show the woman in the scene and her facial expressions and gestures. This could be to show thatshe is in a stressful job; as we can see piles of objects in the background. There is use of high key lighting possibly to show emotion and happiness through the movie, and scene.
Colour Purple
In this scene we can see that the character is upset. There is high key lightinng in the background, and a dimmer light on her face which brings out her bruises on her face. This could be to show that her life is far from the happy bright life we can see the lighting in the background connotes. The dim focus on her face shows there is no filler light, which also shows sadness.
Hancock
In this scene we can see John Hancock standing in an upright, almost superir position. The use of direct light on his face aside his facial expression shows his superiority. The camera is at a low angle which highlights his superiority additionally. The background is dim and blurred, which draws attention tothe characters face as he is the main attraction of the scene.
