Lighting



 This still image shows a female actress probably a femme fatale from a film noir. The lightings used are low key because of the shadows portrayed predominately on the left side of the image. There could potentially be back lighting from the top right side. most of her face has a shadow which suggests there is back lighting because it's not on her face. 













 This still image looks like a woman who is glamorous because of the top lighting. Also, it includes low key lighting to signify a women who needs a man to protect her. The image has some inference of drama and romance. The lighting doesn't really look realistic because of the darkness at the bottom of the image. Therefore, fillers have not been used to counter for the shadows because they are used for effect so wouldn't be removed. 









This still image shows a man who's facial expressions show aggression and power. High key lighting has been used to create realism. Back light is used to build the males structure to make him look even more powerful. Top lighting is used and I know this because of the shadows where his eyes are. This makes him seem aggressive. Filler lights are used to eliminate the shadows in the background.


















This still image uses low key lighting because of the dramatic shadows on the left side of his face (key light on right side). Also, the darkness adds to the suspense because the audience doesn't know why he has a gun. In addition, top lighting is used because there is light on the character's head (right). There could be a filler light on the gun because there isn't any light further up his arm. The fact we can see the rain suggests there is a filler light in the background.











This still image uses low key lighting because it only has one shadow on the wall (of the woman) and a mysterious shadow that the audience wouldn't know where it came from. The shadows would make an audience wonder what is scaring the character so much that she has a frightened facial expression.












This image uses high key lighting. I know this because the only light being portrayed on the characters is from the light coming through the window (most probably the sun). This means that the light is natural. 












The lighting being used here is back lighting because the lights are beaming on the characters from behind. The shadows also tells an audience that the light is coming from behind them because it is in front of the characters. The silhouettes creates curiosity because the audience don't know what the characters look like. 





The still image uses low key lighting because there of the shadows displayed on the right of her. This suggests the light is coming from the left side. The shadow in the background and her terrified facial expression emphasises the mysteriousness.  







This still image uses high key lighting because there aren't many defined shadows especially on the wall. There is a realistic vibe in this image because it uses top lighting so there wouldn't be any shadows proportional from her head onto the wall (shadows would be below her). However, there are shadows underneath the right side of her chin which suggests the light source is coming from the top left.





Low key lighting is used to create suspense and horror. The silhouetted figure suggests the character is a sinister and devilish monster. There is light coming from the right near the character to display his face but the audience sees a person with a white mask. This adds to the mystery of the image because we don't know if the character is a murderer. 












High lighting is used because I can see there are fillers being used to eliminate/reduce intensity of some shadows. The light comes from the left side because the man's arm is brighter than the woman's body. It is a little realistic because it has a film noir theme because of the man with a gun and a woman who loves him
