Lighting Exercise Evaluation.

During Mr. Johnson's class, we were all shown how to use different Lighting techniques and was shown how different lighting angles and lighting strengths gave off different effects to suit the scene of a video recording.

Key Light - The Key Lighting Technique is when one single lamp is used and it provides an intense look onto the character, it is normally placed at a three or four o'clock point from the character it is aimed at. When at this angle from the character, the lighting creates a shadow on the furthest half of the face.

Back Light - The Back Lighting Technique is when one single lamp is placed directly behind the character. This lighting techniques makes the character seem like a silhouette, therefore creating an eerie atmosphere in the video. This lighting technique is particularly effective in Thrillers and Mystery videos.

Filler Light, 3-Point Lighting - This Lighting Technique is achieved by using the Key light and Back Light, and then adding another lamp facing the character, which softens the effects of the key light and back light, creating an overall softness of the character in the frame.

Under lighting - The Under Lighting effect is created by placing a low lamp directly in front of the character. This technique is only used in Horrors and Thrillers in order to give people a scary looking edge.

Top Lighting - The Top Lighting Technique is achieved by using a high positioned lamp, and shining it down onto the character. It makes people look the most attractive they can look by smoothing the facial features and it seems as if it hides at blemishes or bad skin.

Low Key Lighting - 

High Key Lighting.
