Lighting

We learnt all about lighting and how it can affect a subject and how it can make something seem more or less dramatic. For example, lighting someone from the side makes them seem intimidating, such as lighting their face from underneath. Another way in which the lighting can have an effect is to make it seem like it is full time day lighting, and this replaces the need to film outdoors. We learnt how the face shape of someone can seem very different when lit from different angles. Lighting is an essential thing within film because it can change the perception of the audience. Different things such as using natural light or using very specific lighting can have a large effect on the way the film comes across.
