Lighting
The are many things you can do with lighting. This is main part of making films as bad lighting can ruin or belittle a scene. I have learnt the following lighting terms.
Fill light: Lighting that used just to make things more visible in the scene. This lighting has no intended effect as it is only used to get rid of unwanted shadows this light will mainly be used a long other forms of lighting.
Back light: This is when a light is placed behind a character or object. I think This is most effective when used to blank out a character to give it a mysterious vibe or it can be used to give off a sense of power.
Key light: This is to refer to the main source of light.
Accent light/ Spot light: A lamp projecting a focused beam of light onto a character or place. This forces the viewer to focus on a certain area of the film.
Ambient/ Naturalistic/ low key: This is when the lighting is not produced by the film maker. An example is sun light.
Chiaroscuro: Contrasts between light and dark.
