The 80s aesthetic largely came from this movie, where it was fully formed. A masterpiece of design and filming by visual futurist Syd Mead and DoP Jordan Cronenweth.

Rutger Hauer and Harrison Ford in Blade Runner (1982)

Dir.Ridley Scott

The film is set in a dystopian future Los Angeles of 2019, in which synthetic humans known as replicants are bio-engineered by the powerful Tyrell Corporation to work on space colonies. When a fugitive group of advanced replicants led by Roy Batty (Hauer) escapes back to Earth, burnt-out cop Rick Deckard (Ford) reluctantly agrees to hunt them down.

*Director Sir Ridley Scott and director of photography Jordan Cronenweth achieved the famous "shining eyes" effect by using a technique invented by Fritz Lang known as the "Schüfftan Process": light is bounced into the actors' and actresses' eyes off of a piece of half mirrored glass mounted at a forty-five-degree angle to the camera.

Artist Research -Bladerunner

(I really like Blade Runner. I fell in love with the aesthetics of cyberpunk dystopias as I played CYBERPUNK77 over lockdown) An aspect that I wanted to experiment with in my project was light. I realised the connection I could make while we were talking about blade runner in class.

In Blade Runner lighting is the first thing that comes to mind for me, when talking about the art direction. It was directed by Ridley Scott and the movie was shot by the famous cinematographer Jordan Cronenweth manning the camera. Lighting is a key aspect that communicates the mood, tone, and themes of the film. The lighting of the movie is an active participant in conveying the ideas of the movie.

When I think Blade Runner, extreme contrast lighting comes into mind. Where the characters are usually silhouetted by intense shadows. It is most obvious in the city during the night time. The contrast between the bright artificial light and the otherwise unappealing or grimy, black cityscape reflects the film's themes of moral ambiguity, existential horror and loneliness. Almost like a Noir film that got to use one colour extra at any time. Black white and yellow for example.

(A Blade Runner poster that I own)

The neon signs illuminating the urban landscape of Blade Runner are among its many iconic elements. There are bright, shimmering colours mixing vividly with the rainy, dismal world they illuminate, and contribute to an atmosphere of false, consumerist future.

High tech walls of neon billboards, buildings, and advertising all contribute to the cold dystopian identity of the movie. These tacky, vibrant colors are sterile and unnatural, unlike the human element which is lacking in this dire vision of the future. The creative use of lighting adds to the mechanization and commodification of this version of the world. In which emotions and connections seem artificial.

The consistent rain in Blade Runner is key to aiding the lighting. The rain causes more parts of the city to reflect light and makes it create a shimmery appearance, enhancing the effect of the lighting itself. Rain does also set the overall mood. The lighting and rain work together. Showing us into a damp, chilly, and high-tech environment that only serves to enhance the effects of a decaying, oppressive culture.

Director Sir Ridley Scott and cinematographer Jordan Cronenweth employed a technique inspired by Fritz Lang and cinematographer Eugen Schüfftan, known as the "Schüfftan Process," to achieve the iconic "shining eyes" effect in Blade Runner. This involved bouncing light into the actors' eyes using a piece of half-mirrored glass positioned at a forty-five-degree angle to the camera.

In an intriguing article from the July 1982 issue of American Cinematographer, the details about the technique were revealed. Scott and Cronenweth utilized a two-way mirror with 50% transmission and 50% reflection, positioned at a forty-five-degree angle in front of the camera lens.

To create the effect, a light was directed into the mirror along the same axis as the camera lens, causing it to reflect into the eyes of the subject. This lighting apparatus, referred to as a pup, was compact and equipped with a dimmer to adjust light intensity as needed. As a result, light was reflected into the subject's eyes without being directly captured by the camera.
