Lighting Workshop

We had a lightning workshop at school that taught us how important lighting is in a film to convey a certain atmosphere or mood. Below is a some lighting techniques.

Low key lighting 
This type of lighting gives a shadowy effect to a scene in a film they are mostly used in horror and drama films. 

High key lighting 
This type of lighting is most commonly used in musicals and comedies emphasises happiness.

Back lighting 
This is the process of illuminating an object or character from behind, this creates a glowing effect. The lighting shown below gives a sense of intensity to the piece.
