- Lighting... (Miss Heath)-

Lighting As Media..... -Lighting- -Key Light- -This is the main light. It is usually the strongest and has the most influence on the look of the scene. It is placed to one side of the camera/subject so that this side is well lit and the other side has some shadow. -Fill Light- This is the secondary light and is placed on the opposite side of the key light. It is used to fill the shadows created by the key. The fill will usually be softer and less bright than the key. To achieve this, you could move the light further away or use some spun. You might also want to set the fill light to more of a flood than the key. -Back Light- -The back light is placed behind the subject and lights it from the rear. Rather than providing direct lighting (like the key and fill), its purpose is to provide definition and subtle highlights around the subject's outlines. This helps separate the subject from the background and provide a three-dimensional look.

-Under Lighting- You will see under lighting during a film for example fast and the furious when the drivers have ‘neon lights beneath there cars. -Top Lighting- Your likely to see Top light in films and programmes for example, Helicopters have to use the top lighting to see the criminal running it is the same in the movies. -Back Lighting- When you think of back light you automatically think of big Hollywood production Movies but, Back lighting is use in every movie not just big production films.

-Low Key- The lighting is dark with small areas of light, which also creates shadows. -High Key- Lighting appears more natural and realistic to our eyes. For example it is used in films to recreate a sunny day in the park -Natural Lighting- When no lighting has been added, it is what you expect to see.

-Thriller Specific- -Stress Low Key Lighting- Low can be a problem for example when the victim is running away you will not be able to see them. Because the lighting of the scene isn't bright enough to see them moving, the actor will come out as nothing but a black spot. -Low key Lighting and audience response- My response about the use of low key lighting in any movie that I have watch is perfect so far only if you use it well, it make the film look Ten times better then what it really looks like with natural lighting. -Low key Lighting and atmosphere Created- -Scene/Location- Its all about the atmosphere and the location during the film because it brings so much tension to the film if its base in a old haunted house with low key lighting. -Characters- Also the characters play a big part in the movie because with out the actors and actresses they would be a movies at the end of the day. -Narrative Assumptions- Assuming what's going to happen at the end of the movie and getting it completely wrong.
