Lighting

Lighting in Video


I have chosen the Pacquiao vs Marquez weigh-in. This was live so the lighting crew couldn't make any mistakes before hand because if the lights were in the wrong place, then the viewers would not see the full picture. It is obvious that the key light is used as there is light coming in from the right of Pacquiao. A filler light hasn't been used but I think it would have been better because it would have eliminated the shadow created by the key light. A back light is not appropriate as it helps create the atmosphere; too much light would have softened the fights meaning.

For the still image, I have chosen the Drake: Take Care album cover. Key lighting has been used however it's brightness has been reduced to add to the rustic effect of Drake's surrounding. The key lighting has focused on the subject (Drake) but a filler light has been used not to reduce shadows but to highlight the paintings in the background. Back lighting has not been used because it would remove the intensity of the dark colours.
