Lighting blog tasks
1) Still image analysis
Look at the still images on slides 33-37 of the Film Language Powerpoint linked above. Copy the images into your blog and answer the following questions for each image:
- Identify examples of high and low-key lighting.
- Say which depict top, back or under lighting.
- What effects are created by the lighting in each image?
Image 1 :
. Low-key lighting - contrast between light/shadow
.Top lighting alongside back lighting
. Creates the effect of mystery and suspense due to the dark background apposed by the front filled with smoke
Image 2 :
. Low-key lighting
.Top lighting being key yet soft lighting presented
.Creates the feeling of suspense and determines that there is an unknown to be unravelled
2) Film noir research
Research film noir - focusing on the genre’s distinctive lighting style. Make notes on the genre and particularly the use of lighting - bullet points are fine.
3) Film noir YouTube clip analysis
Finally, find a YouTube clip that fits the film noir genre and embed it under your research (the clip can be classic noir from the 1950s or something more recent - neo-noir). How does the clip's lighting fit the film noir genre?
