My Lighting practice
Hello all, last week me and
Alex were trying to show effect through different types of lighting. These
techniques will help us in our final piece as we know how to get these effects
just by using a camera. These are our practice shots…
Backlighting
Backlighting is shown here as the lighting is in the
background of the shot. Therefore turning me into a human silouette! As you can
see you can only see the outline of my body; you cannot see any of my face or
clothes. This type of lighting effect is commonly used in romantic scenes where
couples kiss with the sunset behind them.
Natural lighting
Natural
lighting is when there is no artificial lighting,
as you can see this photo is of an outside location with the lighting source
coming from the sun. This is used in most films asmostfilms arefilmed outside
at some point of the film, although it isnt always natural lighting when a
scene is filmed outside. Artificial lighting can also be used to enhance
aspects of lighting.
Underlighting
Underlighting is when you have an object above the
light source to present a contrast of light and shadow on the object. In this
shot we have a torch under my face to show this contrast. This method of
lighting is commonly used in horrors or spooky scenes of films, for example
when someone is telling a ghost story.
Artificial Lighting
Artificial
lighting is when the lighting source is
manmade. In this example the light is coming
from light bulbs in the ceiling lighting up the room. This is used commonly in most films as most films have indoor scenes.
