In the film, A Hard Day's Night, the audience is taken through an average day in the life of the legendary musicians of The Beatles. Throughout the entirety of the film, they are seen in their "natural habitats" of playing concerts, practicing their songs, and getting themselves into crazy shenanigans that famous celebrities get into on a daily basis. It was filmed in black and white, and according to the Desaturation Theory, it grabbed the attention of many people around the world.
During the film, the band was shot in almost fully in key light and hard light so the feel of the movie could make the audience know they are just normal people in normal settings. In comparison to their appearance on the cover of Life Magazine, they are all seen in Hard Lighting, and have a high contrast background to make them stand out, yet still look like an everyday person.
There are also parts during the film where the band is shot in cameo lighting, where parts of their faces are very lit up, and then the other side suffers from fast falloff. This is not how it is on the cover of Life Magazine because the photographer wanted to make sure they were distinguished and not possible to mix up with someone else.
