High Key lighting is used to create a more realistic look. There is also a use of back lighting to emphasise the actors expressions in this image. This makes the audience aware that she is the focus of this particular scene. Due to the emphasise of the expressions created by the lighting we can associate the word criminality with the woman. In the still the smoke also is greatly emphasised this is done most likely using under lighting. From this we can assume that the woman is fairly mysterious. As a result, of the way in which the lighting is used we can associate that she is a typical femme fatale who uses her sexuality to interest a man. This is shown as the woman pictured seems to have a look of distress and worry on her face.
This image uses High Key lighting which depicts a dimly lit scene. The focus of the image is the woman's face which is due the top lighting used. This helps to accentuate the features of the woman such as her nose structure. While the rest of her body can't be seen it is engulfed in darkness. The shadows created by the lighting help to attach such words as pain and concern. The effect of creating dramatic shadows is known as Chiaroscuro.
This image uses high key lighting as the mans facial expression can clearly be seen and some top lighting has also been used to make his face appear to have more of a glow although it is a black and white still. The glow created by the top lighting draws attention to the crown, which could suggest that he is an individual of high authority or status. With the lighting used in the image we can clearly see the aggressive look on his face which could suggest he is angry and out for some revenge. This would then draw in the audience and make them want to watch more.
This image uses high key lighting which depicts a dimly lit scene and creates a slight shadow on the mans figure. Some top lighting is also used which highlights the facial expressions of the man and gives across a serious look about the character. This could mean that the man is the protagonist of the film/scene. On the other hand, the gun in his hand could suggest enigma codes to the audience about the characters identity which in turn would draw them in to watch the film.
This uses low key lighting creating a strong contrast between light and dark which then creates dramatic shadows and part of the lady's silhouette. This suggests to the audience that the narrative will interestingly develop. Back lighting is used and slightly emphasizes the lady's facial expressions which show great fear. Words that we can link to this image would be trepidation and consternation. Trepidation means to have a feeling of anxiety about something that may be about to happen or has happened. Consternation means to have a feeling of dismay at something unexpected.
This image uses high key lighting however the still is in colour this time. Some top lighting is used which makes the film stars appear more glamorous and accentuate their features. The effect of the lighting used means that the audience gets a very clear image of the couples affection for one another clearly.
This image is a superb example of the Chiaroscuro effect that is creating strong contrast between light and dark with dramatic shadows being created. Therefore, this is low lighting. There is also the use of back lighting which produces the silhouette. The use of the back lighting also emphasizes the facial expression of the lady and shows a look of terror or worry.
This is high key lighting which means more filler lights are used. This makes the scene seem more realistic. This image also uses top lighting which draws our attention to the actors facial expression. In the image the hand gesture suggests that the scene may be from a film that is religious or themed in such a way.
This image uses back lighting and low key lighting which creates the dramatic shadow of the person in the still. All that can be seen in the image is the masked man with a huge knife as a result of the lighting used. This creates a sense of uncertainty or horror about the scene. In this scene we have enigma codes of what might be at the bottom of the stairs and the identity of the masked man. These would entice the audience because it makes them wonder how the narrative might be about develop. We can also make an assumption that the masked man might be the antagonist of the scene out to cause mayhem.
This final image uses back lighting and high key lighting. This helps to create the shadows of the two characters. The use of the high key lighting highlights how intimate the two characters are in this particular still. However, on closer analysis the male character is holding a pistol in his hand which could suggest enigma codes of what he might do with the weapon which is not yet answered in the particular still therefore drawing the audience in. It could suggest betrayal on the male characters part later on in the narrative.
