Lighting

I've learnt by using different lighting techniques you can change the mood of scene. Backlighting is used to create a silhouettes usually used on the villain of the scene. The image to the left is an example of backlighting. Top lighting is used to highlight the features of the character, which usually gives a glamourous view. Under lighting is the main light used from beneath the character which creates harsh shadows, this type of lighting is used in horrors. For my coursework I would use backlighting to keep the villains identity a mystery, which leaves it to the imagination of the audience to what the villain looks like.
