Lighting exercise evaluation

We worked together on this task as a class, using different lighting effects and what they do and are used for. We ended up using key lighting, back lighting, filler lighting, under lighting, top lighting. low key lighting and finally high key lighting.

Key lighting is the brightest type of lighting and is the one that is used in most settings.

Back lighting is one of the darkest types of lighting and is used to create a silhouette of a character this is thanks to a light behind the person in the camera's view.

We also used a filler light is used to help soften the harsh shadows that the key and back lights on things such as the face.

Under lighting was also used, this is when the main source of light comes from below the character, this is used mostly in thrillers and horrors and it causes shadows to be on the face of the character.

Top lighting was also used in this and this is when the main source of lighting comes down from above, giving a sort of glamorous look to a person.

We used low key lighting where the person looks unrealistic and we also used high key lighting which uses filters that makes it look more realistic.

Mise-en-scene: is basically what is in the shot of the camera, there are different elements to mise-en-scene for example the props on a scene, facial expressions and body language and character's hairstyles and body language etc.
