Lighting is used in the opening of Mission Impossible 3 to further emphasise the uneasiness and ominousness of the scene, but to also set the time of the day. In the opening scene, the room is very dimly lit, with very little lights hanging overhead as it were.
This leads to a sense of uneasiness because it could either mean one of two things; a) where they are is to remain a secret, and without having bright lights arouses less suspicion or b) they are in such a run down place that there are hardly any lights above, leading to the thought that no-one would notice or care if something were to happen there.
As well as this, the lighting is used to show time of day. As you can see in the images below, the natural light is being shown through the windows, as well as reflecting upon the skin of the characters. These both show that this scene is set in the day time, because of the brightness of the light.
