The light in this movie is used extremely well. You might not notice how it is actually used, but if you do, then you will be impressed. At the start of the movie, the lighting is very dark. This is the point in the movie where Andy first goes to Shawshank, and he is taking it very hard, and he is a loner. He does not talk to anyone. Then, as the movie goes on he starts actually talking to people and getting some friends in the prison. As this happens, the lighting in the movie gets a alot lighter. As the movie comes to a close, the lighting gets darker again, because he is planning in breaking out from prison. Finally, it gets light again after he escapes, because he is finally free again.

This movie was shot in Maine. One reason for this is that Steven King is from Maine, so a lot of his books are based in Maine. There is an actual prison in Maine named Shawshank prison, and this is where the movie was filmed. The prison is in a big empty field way out in the country too, so it really makes it look like a real prison, and it makes it look really good for the movie. The props that are used in this movie are really good. They make the inside of the prison look like it was really a prison back in the 50's and they kept it authentic with what they used as props.
