Light Sources.

There are different ways that lighting can be used.

The first way is:

To use key lighting. This is the main light and is usually the strongest this is so it can create a strong effect on the main thing it is aiming at.

The second way is:

Called BackLighting. This is to create light behind behind the person. This is so you cannot see the persons face and there will be a big shadow in front of them. This is the create a mysterious feel to the person.

The third way is:

Three point lighting. The three point lighting is used to do a light from the front the left and the right. This is so the person stands out so all light is focusing on one point. It is used in films so there are no shadows and everything in filled so you can see all of the detail.

The forth way is:

Called under lighting. This is used so that a shadow can be made on the celling. It is also used to create a slight shadow on the face of the person it is usually used to make a mysterious or scary feel.

The fifth way is:

Top lighting. This is used so that we get the light coming form above and we see a shadow on the floor that is all around. This can be used in interrogation scenes in films.

The sixth way is:

Low key lighting this is used so that not all of the light are not on. This is also creates the effect of a shadow on one half of the face.

The seventh way is:

High key lighting. This is so everything is bright and everything can be seen. There are no shadows in the shot this is because 4 lights are being used 2 from the front and 2 from the back.
