The Breakfast Club is a dramatic look into the lives of several different classes of students written, directed, and produced by John Hughes (1950-2009) in the mid 80's. Cinematographer on this film was Thomas Del Ruth, who has worked on both television and movies since the mid 60's. His Cinematographer credits began in the late 70's with the TV series Mrs. Columbo and the movie Motel Hell. Thomas' most notable movies besides Breakfast Club are Stand By Me, Kuffs and he's currently working with Rob Reiner on a movie called Flipped.
For the movie The Breakfast Club, I noticed that the lighting was mostly natural lighting inside the hallowed halls of Sherman High School. The feel of the lighting looked very institutional, giving the feeling of being trapped. Which are the feelings the students had because it was supposed to be punishment. It was a very cool glow from the halogen lights normally used in a high school with little adjustments.
