Jorge Luengo Ruiz put together a supercut of scenes from Steven Spielberg movies where the director uses lighting to create high-contrast scenes.
Typically, Spielberg uses brightly lit backgrounds with silhouetted figures in the foreground...think Elliot riding his bike in front of a full moon in ET or Indiana Jones in any number of scenes.
Spielberg himself called it "God Lights".
I've always loved what I call "God Lights," shafts coming out of the sky, or out of a spaceship, or coming through a doorway.
Pairs well with The Spielberg Face.
