Spotlight
The main plot of Spotlight surrounds the case of uncovering the truth behind the Catholic church. Once the team finds out that pedophilia within the priesthood is far more prevalent than they have been led to believe, they also discover that great efforts are made to cover this up.
In the movie, the Catholic church hides the unethical secret about the sexual abuse of children from the public eye. The cloches are framing devices that symbolize the Catholic church and what is revealed represents the crimes and the ugliness of the church. The process of what is revealed underneath the cloche is shown in the sequence. As one of the cloches opens, a children’s toy and cockroaches appear. The surprise elements symbolize the ugliness of the church. The corroded toys represent childhood trauma.

Process
In my process, we used Cinema 4D to lay out the composition. After finding the correct camera angles, we then used Octane render to test out different materials for the models along with different lighting, volume metrics, and Gobos.
