Lighting in film

There are many different types of lighting used in the making of films. This is to create certain feelings for the audience and effects. Different types of lighting are used in different types of films, depending on what genre it is . For example, some types of lighting are listed below:
- 3 point Lighting (back light, key light, fill light)
- Artificial Lighting
- High Key Lighting
- Low Key Lighting
- Back lighting
- Underlighting

As a group, we managed to take some great pictures of some different types of lighting :

NATURAL LIGHTING

Natural light is just the lighting that is beaming down from the sun, enabling everything to stand out in fabulous colours and tones.

LOW KEY LIGHTING

The lower the key light the more shadowy the effect. The shadows created by LOW-KEY LIGHTING work well in mysteries and horror films such lighting has become a convention of those genres.

ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING

We used a blue lense to create this shadowy, mysterious effect on our model Lauren. It is a deliberate use of lighting to achieve a practical or aesthetic effect.

HIGH KEY LIGHTING

High Key Lighting is used to create a brighter effect . High key lighting is often used in comedies and musicals to enhance a sense of liveliness and happiness.
