Lighting is one of most important elements in creating the right

Mood in filming.

MES-EN-SCENEMES-EN-SCENE

There are four main types of lighting used in filmmaking and photography.

In this lighting assignment, you will be taught the art principles and elements of

lighting design

Rembrandt Lighting Rembrandt LightingRembrandt Light is a lighting effect that was used beautifully in many Rembrandt paintings (you know, the Dutch master painter). The effect is to light a person so only ¼ of their face is in shadow and there is a triangle of light under one eye. It is a universally flattering, yet dramatic light on faces. It allows for most of the face to be illuminated but with some interesting shadow detail. This is a Rembrandt self portrait done in 1629. You can see how the light looks like late afternoon sun coming through a window. The color is very warm and there is a little triangle of light under his left eye.

Split LightingSplit LightingSplit Lighting brings out a lot of texture. It will slender and nar- row the face. Lights should be positioned so shadows just fall off far eye. Maintain half of the face and 3/4 of forehead in the highlights. Use gobo’s to help control stray light. The Fill Light should be even with the camera and up high while remaining opposite your Key Light. Your Key Light needs to be lower than the position used with Rembrandt Lighting.

Loop Lighting helps broaden the face and works very well with

narrow faces with ruddy skin. The loop from the nose area should not touch the shadow area on the side of the face.

Your Key Light should be lower than that used with Paramount Lighting and moved in closer toward the background. The

Fill Light should be even with the camera and up higher while

remaining opposite your Key Light.

Paramount Lighting helps flatten features and reduces textures, while giving a broad look to narrow faces. This type of lighting, made famous by Paramount Studios, helps emphasize cheek bones. You should see what appears to be a ﾒ butterfly ﾓ shadow under the nose. This butterfly should end half way between the upper lip and the nose. Your Key Light should be to the right of the camera, with a 45 degree angle and slightly high. The Fill Light should be higher and behind the Key Light source.
