Lighting Research

As my production will mostly be set indoors i will be able to play around with the lighting and mise en scenes more easily.

The three point lighting technique is a standard method used when creating productions and for photography. It is a simple technique which forms the basics of most lighting systems in filming.

Key light
This light is one of the most important lights, its function is to highlight the main subject

Fill Light
The fill lights purpose is to lesson the contrast and shadows around the subject, by being angled differently to the main key light. It usually is softer than the key light.

Black Light
This light is placed being the subject to illuminate it creating a silhouette or to create separation or the subject and background.

High Key 
This is often used in comedies as it brightens and enhances the sense of liveliness or dramatic scenes

Low Key
This creates a more shadowy effect and usually darkens the scene. They are usually found in thriller or horrors.
