Lighting Jessica Stults Betty Gonzalez Matthew Ortiz

 The Key Light creates the subject's main illumination, and defines the most visible lighting and shadows.  When a scene contains mostly dark tones or colors, it is low key  When the scene contains mostly light tones, it is high key  Low key conveys mood and atmosphere  High key creates a feeling of delicacy and lightness.

 Fills in shadowed areas but is not meant to completely eliminate the light  Adds depth to the image  Reduces contrast of a scene usually less intense than key light  Usually placed on the other side of the key light  The position of the fill light is important especially if any one in the scene is wearing eyeglasses

 Usually positioned behind and above the subject.  Visually, it separates the subject from its background.  The light comes toward the camera lens making the subject stand out better.

 Also called hair light or rim light.  Majority of backlight movies are produced in “slow light scenarios”
