The lighting in a film is really important because it can set the mood of the scene and can also tell the audience what kind of a character a person might be.
In this short clip, we tested the different lighting effects
Shot one: Key Light:
The key light is the most important as it highlights the main subject in the video. The light is placed in front of the subject and often creates shadows on one side of the face.
Shot two: Back light:
The back light is placed behind the subject and it creates silhouettes, which creates a blackout shadow over the subject and makes her appear darker. This light is often used in horror film to make the villain seem more mysterious.
Shot three: Filler light:
The filler light gets rid of all the shadows that any of the other lights would make. It makes the subject look younger and have much clearer skin.
Shot four: Under lighting:
Under lighting is when the light is placed below the subject so the light is looking up. This creates a shadow over the face and hides the face a bit. This makes the actor look more scary as you cannot clearly see their facial features. This light is used in most horror films.
Shot five: Top lighting:
Top lighting is when the light is above the subject so the light is looking down on the subject. This light highlights key features of the subjects face to make the subject look youthful. This happens because the light gets rid of any lines and shadows that appear on the face.
Shot six: Low-key lighting:
Low key lighting creates some shadows in the shot. This includes shadows behind the subject and one on the side of the face.
Shot seven: High key lighting:
