Key light

Today, we were manipulating the position and effect of the key light by moving the key light around one person to get the perfect lighting for our trailer. we used three light in each corner at first so that we were able to capture each area of the person's body with the light so that there wasn't any shadow marks on their body.

Different types of lighting: 
Key lights
Low key
High key 
Paper reflection
Greece proof paper 
Chiaroscuro effect 

Using the different colour lighting helped us to change the mood and atmosphere of the shot, giving us more of a horror effect especially when we used the colour red, 




In this image you see that we used a red lighting, behind the model we also has a white lighting to emphasise his body image and on the left and right side of him we place two more lights so that we could really bring out his body outline. using this lighting with the camera we got our model to walk backwards and forwards to see if we could get him looking like a dark figure, we found that the further away from the camera he was the more of a dark figure he would look. This really helped us with our horror trailer as it gives a sense of mystery to who the killer could be.
