American Psycho
What is the significance of the facial mask?
The mask signifies he isn't real, that he is a fake.
What does his apartment look like?
His apartment at times looks like a maze, but most importantly looks perfect with everything in it's correct place apart from his bedroom which suggests that it is the one place where he doesn't allow anyone to visit.
What lightning is used and why?
The lightning at the beginning of the scene is high key to signify that it's morning and to emphasise the whiteness of his apartment. Whereas at the end of the scene, it becomes much more low key to connote his dark and unusual side.
How does he look and behave?
He seems to be obsessed with his own body, as you can see in one part of the clip he does his workout with only his underwear on with his blinds open this signifies he is not afraid to present himself to the world. Also at the very start, his behaviour seems normal and ordinary, but towards the end he becomes slightly strange and mysterious.
