Lighting


To take these images i made sure that everything was turned on. This was the Key, Fill, Back and Set lights. This lighting is used for interviews and especially talk shows. This lighting has a non- threatening feeling. When filming i would personally use this camera setting if i wanted the audience to focus on a main character having the spotlight on them.


Lisa is lit from the side with only a Back light to provide separation from the set. Look at the strong, unnatural shadows under her eyes and chin. The forehead is covered with a shadow as half of the chin is too dark. Its impossible to get your talent to look good when lit from the side 
For my film i would use this camera setting because it partially would focus on a specific character that i want to come across as mysterious.


To take this image i have turned off the Set and Back lights, and added a Key light from the front right. We can clearly see what Lisa looks like, but there is not a lot of depth to the shot. 
When filming personally i would use this camera setting to focus on the characters for example if they are in a room and i wanted to make it clear to the audience that they can see what is going on.


It is noticed more by moving the key light more to the right it creates more of a rim around the actor/ actress. It is seen where mainly the corners of the background have slight shadows, basically having spotlight on a specific character.


The focus on the images become much more interesting and this is occurs when we add the Back light. With this look you will see it most often in a lot in dramatic/crime programs. There is a strong contrast between the left and right sides of the face.
