In scene 8 of our production, when Molly runs back to her room to commit suicide after hearing her mum on the phone, we decided that Molly would light some candles which would help set the scene for her passing away, as we wanted it to seem like her death was a peaceful one. We used several similar candles when filming and used close ups of Molly lighting the candles to highlight that the candles are significant in this particular scene, and to also allow the audience to see exactly what Molly is doing. We also used an extreme close up of the candle flame dying out, which is used as a metaphor for Molly herself dying and is also used as a symbol for light, as it indicates the life/light leaving Molly as she dies.
