different lighting techniques that we will use

DIFFERENT LIGHTING TECHNIQUES 

 

• Silhouette

• Spotlighting

• Underexposure

• Harsh light (hard light, chiaroscuro)

• Prominent and projected shadows

• Shooting through objects (internal frames)

• Shooting through elements

• Uplighting 

These lighting techniques are important as they are all obscure or distort in reality in some ways for example, silhouette lighting creates a sense of mystery as well as unidentifiable characters, this method makes the shot seem more dark.

The picture above is an example of a silhouette, you can still identify the characters as 'The Simpsons family' without seeing their faces but they have very distinctive features.
