Lighting exercise three

Frontal key lighting eliminates shadows across the face which illuminates facial expression. We could use this to draw attention to emotions on the characters face.

Key light and fill illuminates the background, identifying the characters surroundings. With an area like this, two shadows can be created, creating an eerie atmosphere.

Bottom up lighting creates shadows across the upper half of the face which can enhance the mood. We could use this to create enigma as it disorientates features of the face.

Top lighting again creates shadows over the face, making the character look more menacing and dominant.

Side lighting hides part of the face with shadows. This can give the effect of implying that part of the characters personality is hidden.

Backlighting illuminates the outline of the character, and in a better setting it would create a silhouette. This could be used to create enigma.
