Cinematography

Key light:

  • Most important in lighting setup 
  • Highlight form and dimension of the subject
  • Omitting key light can result in a silhouette effect
  • Key lights may be placed in a scene to illuminate a moving subject at opportune moments

Fill light:
  • May be used to reduce contrast of a scene to match dynamic range of recording media
  • Using less fill will make shadows seem lighter/darker than normal causing the viewer to react differently by inferring envorinomental and mood clues from the tones of the shadows
  • The positioning of the fill affects the overall appearance of the lighting pattern 

Hair light:
  • Works especially well in portrait photography 
  • Lights up the hair, often angled down 3 feet above the head
  • Add interest and texture to an image

Research Task: Dance Music

Analysing the following 'dance music' genre songs:  1) Sigala - Sweet lovin' ft. Bryn Christopher  2) MK- 17 3) CamelPhat & Elderbrook 'Cola'  1) What makes all of these music videos from the dance music genre? All these music videos have similarities in  common which can help an audience define them within the 'dance music genre'. For example, they have fast cut shots in time with the dance beat- this sustains audience interest and prevents boredom. You could also look at the locations of each of these videos because they are all set in lively atmospheres with lots going on simultaneously.
