It's pretty much just the practical lamp doing the lighting in the "Blade Runner" shot, with smoke to spread the light (smoke can even act to fill in the shadows a little). The backlight on the top of the head in "Social Network" May either be from the practical causing his hair to halo or there is something above the frame like a Kino tube creating that.

Thanks v much for your help David! :)

I'm hoping someone could enlighten me about these two shots (the first from The Social Network, the second Blade Runner.) I'm interested in how they were lit, practically speaking? I can see they both have practical sources- an orange outdoor light and a fluorescent bathroom light, but I'm curious as to whether any other sources or reflectors were used.
