Lighting Exercise

We got this effect using one light which was at level with the person in the frame. We positioned the light to the left of her and didn't put it on the brightest so there's still elements of darkness to her face and body.

This shot was achieved by using a light in front of her and shining heavily onto one side of her face. The lighting from the actual lights also helped to create this effect.

This silhouette effect was used by shining a very bright light from behind him and making the whole of the background white, and just the character in black. The light had to be up very high to make sure the whole of him was dark and contrasting to the background

The frontal key light was achieved by putting a bright light in front of the person and using only this light to show the whole of her face in brightness, and the corners of it in darkness because they're not important.

The key and fill light were used in this to make the character have no shadows on her face and look realistic. It was difficult because we were taking the pictures by a door and people kept walking through it and letting in the naural light from outside.

This was achieved by having one bright light lower than the subject so it creates a massive shadow behind her and a shadow on her nose. The problems were this was the light wasn't low enough so the face wasn't distorted.

This top lighting creates a downward shadow and the light on her face which makes her face really bright and distorts her face. This makes most of the frame really bright, and leaving the rest very dark.

This side light highlights one side of her face, and leaves the rest in a shadow, this creates a really dark shadow on the wall. This shows us that we can distort the face by only showing the one side. If we were to do it again, we should use a darker room to make the other side of her face pitch black.

The back light effect creates a bright silhouette behind her and gives her head a halo. It is a nice shot because she is darker than the others, but you can still her face. It creates mystery and distortion.
