Lıghting Workshop

Light is everything. In order to get an image for photography or movie, first, we have to know how to use the light. We saw various scenes from movies and animations to get an idea about light. To sustain a light which does not look abnormal to the audience, we have to set up the places of lights wisely. Light has lots of purposes. We can provide various emotions with the help of the light. We learned 3 point lighting and almost every scene or image use this type of lighting. We created 4 photographs using the light which contain 3 point lighting, horror, cheerfulness and suspense. First, we took the suspense one. We put the light just behind the subject and put a reflector in front of it. Because of the colour of the reflector which is white, our subject created a high contrast on top of the white background and become a black silhouette. After that, we did the horror one. Again we used one light but we lowered its height in order to give a campfire feeling. We also used the low key technique to give a dramatic feeling with high contrast, highlighted parts and darkened parts. Then we set the light with 3 point lighting and took two photographs. We change the subject’s facial

expression to a more cheerful image. In the future, we are going to use what we learned about light for creating moving images and we will take better photographs.
