LIGHTING
Lighting has been well been established in this particular episode. There exist two different timings and they have well been represented by the lighting system. When night falls, we are able to know it is dark via the adjustment of the lights. When it is daytime, we are able to know the same. Also, the lights do not clash with the costumes or the background of the actors.
SOUND
When Charlie knocks the door from outside and shouts out Selina’s name, we are able to know that he is outside the door which is a barrier between him and the camera. This is a good representation of acting from a point of barrier.
