Lighting Research

- Dark shadowy lighting - low key lighting
- Green and yellow work together to create a twisted sick feelingin horror films
- Hard light
- Uncorrected flourescants - green

Exposure:
When a scene is shot with enough light, it becomes underexposed - This means the shot is too dark and not much detail can be seen on-screen.

Three point lighting:
Standard method for illuminating a person or an object. By using this system you can control the shadows of an object while adding depth to the shot.

Key light:
Usually stimulates or emphasises natural light: direct sunlight that comes through a window or door.
The intensity, direction and quality of lighting have a profound effect on the way an image is perceived. Light effects the way colours are rendered, both in terms of hue and depth, and can focus attention on particular elements of the composition. Most mainstream films rely on the three point lighting style, and its gender variations.

  1. I am looking through your blog but there is no evaluation on any of the areas at all.Where is your animatic and continuity task? This is also missing, along with it marked and evaluated. You have so much to do!You should be blogging every day-you have not done so for a month-and look at excellent blogs to guide you.
