Mise En Scene :: Bleak House

Bleak House uses very low lighting throughout the clip. In the court in particular, it has been filmed so that the only soursce of lighting appears to be from the oil lamps that are positioned around the set. This reflects the sober and serious nature of the scene. The set design continues the idea of this ambience with the props and furniture being made of dark material such as oak wood.
The lighting is altered slightly when it begins to rain, as it looks like a blue filter has been put over the lense to emphasize the coldness. This is further backed up by the lack of lighting inside the house.
