Location - where something is happening.

Lighting: Natural - produced in nature, often sun, moon, stars, lightning 
                Artificial - man made light, usually electrical

Warm - Yellow, makes fell safe, warm
Cold - White/Blue tone, makes feel clean, clinical

Bright - Fills room, makes feel happy, safe
Dull - Fills part of a space only, often creepy/murky

Colour Palette - Predominant colours used in the scene (main)
