Lighting Workshop

(Please note when doing this task I was at the decision I was doing a short-film, thats no longer the case)

Low Key lighting

 The first lighting I looked at was low key, the mood setter. Often used in horrors/thrillers etc. They can be in any scene to denote a darker mood to the audience. It is particularily effective as it allows audience to see whats occuring whilst the frame is relatively poorly lit.
I am unlikely to use this lighting as my music video conventions would be broke, as it isnt a bright lighting.

Back Lighting

Back lighting is a strong technique, similar to low key, however the object is harder to make out, and connotes a scent of mystery to the audience, to which an enigma could be created instantly. Again a lighting technique I wont be using for reasons stated, plus the fact I'm no longer doing a short-film/

Front Fill light

The final lighting technique we experimented with was the front fill, a light from perhaps a desk top light or torch. It is typical in horrors or thrillers, but not so in music videos. Its a good lighting technique to use however doesnt create similar effects as to the like of low-key and back lighting.

What this workshop allowed me to do was experiment with lighting, however I feel now I'mm doing a music video this workshop will not help, as I will need brighter lighting and I will use natural lighting instead as it follows the conventions of my music video genre.
