    In the scene where Gilly is free from her ex-boyfriend fortissimo sound effect signals a powerful freeing of her from Jimmy’s soul that possess her. The lighting of Practical Magic is consistent with the interpretation of magic in general and the connection of romance displayed in the movie.

By the same token, the dark lighting is used to exemplify romance for despite the curse the sisters are still on the quest for love. This specific film has not only piqued interest worth merit, but also has been a true inspiration of acceptance of all religious practices with acting, sets and location that excel in quality and degree, plus the lighting, camera angles, and sound effects brilliantly placed to indicate foreshadowing and intensity of emotion.…
