This image is from the film Knowing.
This image is just before a horrific accident.
It shows that the side of the tram with people and assumed the exit, is bathed in bright light from the overhead underground lights, while the other half with no exit and on-coming trams is in darkness, there is a great contrast between the two.
A man is shown looking through the window in the tram his face is in the light while the opposite window is in darkness apart from the overhead lights inside the train, this could show the on-coming danger in the form of darkness.
this project is on film noir, so i noticed that this image is very typical of film noir conventions. the light and dark contrast is very heavy (defined shadows). There is a mystery element tied in with the contrasting lights and the focus on the character in the foreground.
