Lighting

  

The impact of lighting:

Lighting is a huge thing in cinema and can change our perspective on a scene. For instance low key lighting causes the object or person to be seem mysterious and/or evil. This is due to the fact that not everything can be seen. In high key lighting everything can be seen. This means that nothing is a mystery or can be a surprise. This makes the audience feel safe and comfortable.

Another part of lighting is the colours used. Gels could be used to cause meaning to a scene. Different colour mean different things.In the video there is a warm light and a cold light used. The warm lighting makes you feel safe and is calmer. The cold lighting makes the person or object it’s on feel more distant.
