Shot in 1080p, frame rate(30), ISO(2000), shutter speed(1/60).
This clip has 3 light sources; a background light that is a soft white light for visibility, the candles framing the record player (though they're really to justify the spotlight and provide warmth for the scene), and the spotlight above the record player highlights the subject and adds dramatic effect.

I actually took this short clip because I wanted to capture a silhouette, and the position of the sun was nearly perfect. The key light is- obviously- the sun. I kept it central to the shot, and lowered the angle to divide the frame in thirds. I want to re-film it with more exposure to enhance the halo effect(or darken the subject).
Where previous scenes were outdoors or under bright lights, this indoor scene stays soft. The main light is a warm but bright daylight coming from the large living room window. The various lamps and ceiling lights around the room provide motive for the lighting during the close ups, but stay a warm, diffused yellow. It's also notable that while the camera's angle changes from light to shadow and back again, Mercury(Malek) is framed by light in each still.
I'm particularly drawn to the framing and levels of light in this screenshot. The booth breaks the screen into thirds and frames the player in a square. The ceiling lights in the background and foreground provide a diffused, warm-yellow light. The spotlight from the window separates the layers of the scene and highlights the subject with a harsh-edged white.
I really like how they captured the intensity of the moment in this first screenshot. The lines created by the piano and microphone stand lead into Freddie Mercury(Rami Malek), and are perpendicular to the lines created by his body and shadows. The shadows are created by the key light of the scene- a spotlight positioned in front of the subject(with a shadowed camera angle to increase the depth of the narrow space). The spotlight is assumed to come from the upper stage lights shown in the previous scene. The background is abstract from a dispersed white light. The white lights and grayscale scene create a simple but high intensity shot.
