Different types of lighting in film
1| Eye-light
This light is a very special light, its purpose is to the fill the eye line of someone. This is created when something is reflected in the the persons eye. This reflection creates a nice spark of reflection in the persons eye.
2| Topper
This light is positioned in front of a persons face, the lit is often lit on the persons face, in particular lit upon the nose, head, mouth and eyes.
3| Hard light
Hard light is light directly from the sun or other light sources. The light, either of natural source of man made light sources should create defined shadows.
4| Soft light
This light creates the a soft, low defined shadows. The lights are soft lighted. The subject or persons face should look smooth and fine.
5| Ambient light
Ambient light is light that is natural or from the sun. Ambient light can also be lights that are already there, like street lights, car light, moon light, and lights from night clubs lights. These lights are lights positioned where you can see them and not behind the camera where you can not see them.
6| Practicals
This light is purposely on set and are used as props. This lights can include of table lamps, headlamps, and celling lights, these lights would have been dimmed so that it doesn't destruct the the light that is already there, like the cameras of the set, behind the cameras.
7| Upstage
This is when the lighting is lit on when side of a person, while the other side is still shadowed.
8| High key light
This lighting is very bright without much shadow, lots of fill light is used to get this high key effect. This is often used in commercials and beauty products. High key lighting would be used in a heavenly scene in the clouds for example.
9| Low key light
This lighting is the opposite to high key lighting. Low key lighting is dark a and shadowy as well as using the fill light. This is often used in scenes of tension of scenes of vulnerability.
10| Bounce light
This light is when it is reflected of a surface, this surface can include of a sheet, a wall, a mirror etc.
Now that I have studied this it would be very useful to start using this in our media opening sequence and future tasks. It would be quite difficult to get lighting for our opening sequence because our opening sequence is set outside.
