lighting



  • strong and bold lighting
  • high key lighting-there is no shadow
  • weak filler light(u can see a strong and dark shadow)
  • low key lighting(as there is a strong contrast between the dark and light)

  • weak filler light(u can see their shadows)
  • low key lighting 
  • back light(as u can also see their shadows from the back)

  • high key lighting to show that it is a more realistic and authentic shot

  • Top lighting to make her look charming and classy
  • No filler -there is a shadow showing a little of her silhouette 
  • Her facial expression shows her fear and that she sees something scary or maybe she is trying to get away from something
  • High key lighting 


  • subtle lighting 
  • There is a strong mystery effect created by the back light (you can only see half of his face).
  • The protagonist is made to show off his badge and pistol using the light


  • High key lighting for a realistic effect
  • Strong back light

  • Low key lighting
  • soft lighting 
  • filler for a mysterious, enigmatic effect (trying to make her seem mysterious)

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. 
  • usage of dim lighting to produce shadows and silhouettes is common
  • emphasises style and mood, using a high key-to-filler light ratio to produce sharp contrasts and strong and black shadows
  • the primary or key light is coming from one side behind the subject.
  • Light is not as significant as shadow.

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 1950's or something more recent - Neo-noir). How does the clip's lighting fit the film noir genre?

-The strong contrast between light and shadow is low key lighting.The under lighting shows the smoke from the cigarette and focuses on that to maybe show that she is a confident dangerous character.
