This document explores the importance of set design and lighting in film and television. It defines different types of lighting techniques like high-key lighting, low-key lighting, spotlighting, and back lighting and how they impact the look and feel of a scene. It also discusses different lighting fixtures that can be used like floor lights, neon strips, and color filters and how they help with decoration or style. Lighting is a key element in filmmaking that can be manipulated to achieve different aesthetic and tonal effects.

Type of Lighting High-Key Lighting
Definitions/effects Lighting that results in predominantly middle grey to white tones makes look warm and natural.
Low-Key Lighting
Low-key lighting is a style of lighting for
photography, film or television. It is a necessary element in creating a chiaroscuro effect. Low-key lighting often uses only one key light, optionally controlled with a fill light or a simple reflector
Spotlighting
Lamp projecting a narrow, intense beam
of light directly on to a place or person, especially a performer on stage. Back light separates subject from background, saints from sinners, and one pro from another. Angle: toward the lens from above and behind the subject, or above, behind, and slightly to the side of it, high enough to cut lens flare. It is especially helpful for video images that may suffer loss-of-edge contrast. Sins: confusing the source background lighting, and, for motivation purists, using it at all. Tip: smoke, stream, and other translucent subjects adore back light of almost any colour. a photographic filter that absorbs light of certain colours.
Back Lighting / Silhouetting
Colour filters Floor Lights Neon strips
Lights in the floor its more use for
decoration Feature of style, Electrical Engineering a glass bulb or tube containing neon at low pressure that gives a pink or red glow when a voltage is applied
