"Light, to me, makes a mood. So the mood can either be an appropriate one or it can be an inappropriate one. Sometimes it's right to be inappropriate. Sometimes if you want to have a shocking murder take place, like in Zodiac, the fact that it happens at three o'clock in the afternoon on a bright, sunny September afternoon, that can be... that's what was shocking about the murder. That's what was shocking about what took place Lake Berryessa, is that it happened in broad daylight. And here were these people screaming for their lives and you go, "How is that possible?"

Interview with David Fincher shows his view and use of lighting to help create a mood and atmosphere, specifically referencing to Zodiac. This also relates to many of his films, like The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011) (The crime scene in Martins basement, being well lit, and with the house being shot using warm colours, to appear non-threatening). This supports David Finchers stylistic approach to film, using lighting for shock value and specifically in Zodic and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo to create a feeling of lack of safety.
