Types of Lighting and Their Effects

The document discusses various types of lighting techniques used in film and photography, including high-key lighting to suggest an upbeat mood, low-key lighting and back lighting to create a sense of alienation or direct attention, using color filters to absorb certain colors, and spotlighting, floor lights, and neon strips to illuminate features or create moody imagery and make things stand out. Changes in lighting are also used to imply changes when none actually occur.
