Playing with Lighting

In our class, we were learning about different types of lighting. We watched films such as Schindler's List with silhouetted lighting, Road to Perdition with bokeh lighting and Terminator, which uses side lighting to light up the human side of his face vs the robotic side, as seen here.

We tried our own shots in class. We tried to side lighting, which was our favourite. We shone the light from the side, and used a torch to create a softer light on the front of his face.

We also tried using the flash from the lighting equipment, but the camera I was using didn't pick it up. However, in the coloured photo, you can see that his whole face is lit up, which was the effect of using the umbrella and taking a photo facing Eddie.

We also tried using the light as they use it in Schindler's List, from behind, to create a silhouette and also to make features stand out, as you can see by Eddie's hair etc.
