Student seeking inspiration

Hello,

I’m a student filmmaker, currently studying a degree in Film Production. We get to specialize in a particular area this semester, and I’ve chosen cinematography. The bulk of the assessment is to shoot two scenes out of a possible six, each containing various styles and qualities of light. I’ve been allocated the following two:

(A)One: Morning Sun Through a Window – Interior/Exterior
The room is partly lit by morning sunlight shining through the window.
A character is pouring a glass of water on a table set back in the shadow,
They then take the glass and walk over into the sunlight of the window.
They look out & see another character outside walking away.

(A) Two: Moonlight Through a Window
A character enters a moonlit kitchen at night, opens the fridge door, takes
out and drinks some milk. A light is switched on in an adjoining room/hall/etc and they quickly close the fridge door.

I’m currently in the process of gathering some research material, and was wondering if anyone could recommend some films/certain scenes/paintings/artists/cinematographers that I should look at for inspiration?

Thanks in advance,
Jonathan Flint
