The captivating movie that had the attention of many using three-point lighting effect which set the mood in the film. The black and white film had several scenes that use effective framing which kept the feeling of Christmas. The angle of the camera in the framing of the mise en scène had you focusing on the main characters and the lighting was used to display the drama part of the story. The audience seeing the main characters helped to give imagination of how this white beard man name Kris Kringle would convince Doris and her daughter, Susan, that he was Santa Claus. Although many believed, Kris wanted to help the ones that did not and see in their heart for the disbelief. The authenticity was displayed in the part of Santa Claus because he did not look like a person who was dressed up as a man with a fake beard.
Using a high-key lighting in the movie would not capture the mood of the characters especially the ones who did not believe in the beginning.
