GameofThrones cinematographer explains why 'The Battle of Winterfell' was so dark IOL_Lifestyle

They say Democracy Dies in Darkness , but in the latest "Game of Thrones" episode, we learned what else dies in darkness.Key characters pertinent to major plot points who maybe died or maybe lived, or perhaps died and then rose again with the undead and then died a second time - it's really not clear, because we couldn't actually see much of anything at all during "The Long Night.

The lighting, or lack thereof, was an intentional choice, according to the show's director of photography, Fabian Wagner. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair's "Still Watching" podcast, Wagner cited the show's "classic cinematography and lighting" - an aesthetic that doesn't lend itself to unnatural sources of light.

The next step was a fiery trench, lit by a resurfaced Melisandre, that would serve as "an overpowering light" and evoke the battle's hellish nature.
