Lighting

High key lighting- a lighting with bright even illumination and minimal shadows often used in musicals and comedies.

Low key light- uses only one key light which creates drama and a sense of alienation

Ambient Lighting- Also known as background lighting to create an overall atmosphere

natural lighting- Provided by 'outdoor' lighting either light or dark

artificial lighting- A powerful tool in creating a strong atmosphere think sci-fi

Backlighting- light that originates from behind figures in a scene. This type of lighting creates silhouettes

Three point lighting- a system of lighting that uses light from 3 sources, bright, one behind and one fill

Fill light- Part of the 3 point system this lower powered light helps to erase or soften shadows created by light

The Effect- Why is the light being used?
