At right is a comparison between the two takes of the scene, taken from exactly the same moment in the respective takes. The dramatic difference between the two clearly illustrates the impact a cinematographer can have on a scene, but also instantly reveals Taylor to be a director of photography who preferred rich, warm colours, like reds and yellows. It also shows a penchant for strong, even lighting in interior TARDIS scenes. This preference was not limited to ''Bride'', but the [[Christmas special]] was a kind of turning point. The first ''Who'' production undertaken at the [[Upper Boat Studios]], the difference between the two men's work was henceforth somewhat less pronounced. This can easily be seen by comparing any Taylor [[series 4 (Doctor Who)|series 4]] episode to any Vincze series 4 episode. Even greater proof of the shift in Vincze's resultant imagery can be plainly observed by comparing his series 1 episodes with his series 4 work. Rose's initial scene in the TARDIS ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'') is lit quite differently to her final one. ([[TV]]: ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'')
