Answer 12

One of the strong tenants of the film was that just by putting Scarlett in that environment was putting an alien on earth. Jonathan wanted to protect that juxtaposition as being unreal and he didn’t want to pollute the actual real life scenario and turn it into a mini-feature film environment. So we were tasked with making sure that our actual footprints on the ground were very light so we could put her into those situations without influencing them and changing them more than we had to. In terms of lighting, we made sure we used as much was there and we augmented it rather than totally reshaping it. (Daniel Landin)
