This still image of from Silence of the Lambs is defiantly low-key lit, as there is an apparent strong contrast from white to black, with top lighting intended on the face, creating a flawless figure, however if you notice the contrast of shadow on the face itself is less pronounce(the face being the protagonist), which signifies the use of fillers on this dimly set image.
The use of black and white outlines the main subject which is the moth replacing the mouth which suggests that it plays a part in the narrative creating an enigma code. The black and white also creates an affective image as this connotes sorrow and reality.
The contrast from black to white near the right jaw line can connote a hidden narrative within the film as the background seems to be vague which raises some enigma codes too.
The use of low-key lighting creates a sentimental exposure, making the image somewhat creepy and very odd. The moth and the eyes being the only things in colour evens out the image drawing in the audience into the whole image raising questions to what the story of this movie can be.
