The Motorcycle Diaries: Lighting and Setting

The Motorcycle Diaries took place all over South America; countries like Chile, Argentina, Venazuela, and Peru. The range of lighting was pretty wide; from bright skies during the day to black skies at night. The lighting gave a feeling of everyday-ness, that their journey was something you'd expect from their age group. There were a good amount of handheld shots, but there were more dolly shots; a (handheld) shot of worthy mention being when Ernesto and Alfredo were heading towards the lake to obtain the duck Alfredo had just shot out of the sky.
