Types of lighting:
Back lighting: the light source is behind the person. If little light is used silhouettes are created which causes the edge of the subject to glow while other areas remain darker.
Key lighting: the purpose of the key light is to highlight the form and dimension of he subject. the key light is not a rigid requirement; omitting the key light can be useful in creating a silhouette.
Camera lighting: lens flare is the light scattered in lens systems through generally unwanted image formation mechanisms such as reflection and scattering from material inhomogeneities in the lens.
Filler light: fill light may be used to reduce the contrast of a scene and provide some illumination for the areas of the image that is in the shadow.
Under lighting: is when the main source of light comes from below the subject which tends to have a distorting effect on the character or object.
Top lighting: is when the main source of lighting comes from above, highlighting the features of a character- can be used to glamorize a star.
Low key lighting: lighting is created by the use of back lights. This will produce a sharp contrast of light and dark areas on screen and cause deep shadow to form.
High key light: this is when the filler lights is used. The term means lighting that appears more natural and realistic to our eyes. It can be used to describe on brightly lit sets such as the recreation of a sunny day.
