In this video you will learn about:
• An "impersonal" approach to storytelling
• Knowing a character's "backstory" to increase credibility
• Showing psychology through a prop
• Serving the characters - not yourself!
• At the end: enhancing what is already there
• Directing the attention of the audience
• Why you NEED a compositional sketch…
• The function of having less contrast towards the periphery
• The importance of proportions and contour line
• Blackness/darkness must not be too monochrome
• Making "dead" spaces more active

There are already some asinine comments regarding colour and lighting. These commentators are obviously shallow, and you mustn't listen to them; this is a strong picture full of subtlety and complexity - well done.
