Additional Work - High Key & Low Key Lighting

High Key Lighting

The lighting shows off the characters face and props very clearly making it easier for the audience to see. The lightning hits the characters face implying he is pain. This also results in being the main focus of the shot.


Low Key Lighting

The lighting in this scene is presented as a spotlight. This helps us to notice the main thing that the director wanted us to see. In the picture we can see a man standing in the doorway looking up. Only his body is in the light which may connote that he has been found and there's no point in escaping. Furthermore, because he is looking up in the dark it can represent him being in an unpleasant place.

The lighting makes the scene more realistic. Also it helps the audience see all the chains that the characters are wearing, so they can be more aware of the details. Also the lighting is quite bright and in contrast showing off the colour of their clothing.


Low Key Lighting

The images shows a big contrast. This creates a mysterious atmosphere and connotes that something bad is about to happen. This is due to the fact that the women is in the light and the man in the dark. That can also represent the man being the villain due to him being in the darkness. It can represent the women as innocent due to her being in the light.

High Key Lighting 

The lighting is effective as it shows of the characters emotions as it is hitting the characters faces. The lighting looks natural as it seems, as it is coming from the window due to the shadows on the characters clothing. We can tell that the dad character is quite nervous and the son is ashamed as he is looking down.

 

Low Key Lighting 

The back lighting is hitting on them causing a shadow on half of the characters face. This causes the setting to be more mysterious as we do not really know what it is. Also the back lighting causes a halo effect resulting in the scene being more mystical.
