Lighting

Lighting.




1.High key and low-key lighting are both used in this image. Low-key is used to create a shadow over her face. This is effective as it creates an film noire setting. A back light is used in order to expose the smoke as well as the side of the characters face which makes her look more devious. In film noire movies the main female character is referred to as a femme fatale and is quite mischievous and mysterious.









2.Low-key lighting is used to make the frame look horror-like. This is done using a top light aimed to the above left of her. As a result shadows are created under her eyes and on her cheeks. Her finger from her left hand lie on her cheeks. The rest of her hand is hidden as well as her body. This may suggests she's hiding a lot.











3. The use of a top light above him creates shadows under his eyes and under his chin connoting he also could be hiding something.  This image is created with high- key lighting. I can see this from the low and high contrast of lighting which makes him seem medieval. The lighting used makes him appear powerful and superior and his body language further reinforces that.










4.  In this still image the use of low-key lighting is used to make the character seem mysterious due to the dramatic shadows created.  A top light is used to reveal half the characters face giving them a chance to assume what this character is hiding. The light is reflected of the gun in the characters hand and the badge on his belt. These are objects that could tell the audience a lot about the guy.














5. This still image uses high-key lighting to show us her facial expression and body language. A dramatic shadow is created on the wall as well as on the girls back. This could suggest that someone is behind her. 











6. In this still image low-key lighting is used to contrast both the light and shadow which conveys how natural and realistic the image appears to be to the audience.














7. Low-key lighting.
The use of a back light creates a dramatic shadow in front of the characters. It could reinforce how important they're in society as their shadows look big and superior . We cannot see their face in this still image which may signify themselves hiding their identity.



8. Low-key lighting is used to create a dark shadow of the girl on the wall. It is likely this still image is from a horror. She is facing the wall as her neck is facing just near the camera suggesting she is looking for something or someone. The key light allows us to catch her facial expressions. The chiaroscuro in this image is powerful. 




  
9. The use of High-key Lighting shows us the characters facial expressions and their body language. The lighting is very exposed.






10. Low-key lighting is used in this image. 
A back light is used to slightly expose the man from the darkness. I can identify the fact that this still image is from a horror movie. This scene is highly likely to be set in a basement as he is standing at the top and the light reveals the door behind him. The darkness at the basement connotes no way out.







11. High-key lighting is used to create a dramatic shadow behind the female which may suggest she is hiding something or someone from the man who is likely to be her partner.
