This produces images that are usually very bright and that feature few shadows on the principal subjects. High Key Lighting A lighting scheme in which the fill light is raised to almost the same level as the key light. A backlight picks out the subject from its background, a bright key light highlights the object and a fill light from the opposite side ensures that the key light casts only faint shadows. In order to model an actor's face (or another object) with a sense of depth, light from three directions is used, as in the diagram below. Three Point Lighting The standard lighting scheme for classical narrative cinema. Other films, for example documentaries and realist cinema, rely on natural light to create a sense of authenticity. Most mainstream films rely on the three-point lighting style, and its genre variations. Much like movement in the cinema, the history of lighting technology is intrinsically linked to the history of film style. Light affects the way colors are rendered, both in terms of hue and depth, and can focus attention on particular elements of the composition. Lighting The intensity, direction, and quality of lighting have a profound effect on the way an image is perceived. In addition, by speeding up the rate of the projected images in the background, or quickly changing its angle, rear projection allows for an impression of speed that involves no real danger. Specifically, almost every car ride is shot in this way, a common feature in Classical Hollywood films, due to the physical restrains of shooting in the studio. ![]() In some films, the relationship between scenes shot on location and scenes shot using rear projection becomes a signifying pattern. Rear projection provides an economical way to set films in exotic or dangerous locations without having to transport expensive stars or endure demanding conditions. Rear Projection Usually used to combine foreground action, often actors in conversation, with a background often shot earlier, on location. Décor can be used to amplify character emotion or the dominant mood of a film. Decor An important element of "putting in the scene" is décor, the objects contained in and the setting of a scene. ![]()
