Lighting Analysis



  1. Identify examples of high and low-key lighting.
  2. Say which depict topback or under lighting.
  3. What effects are created by the lighting in each image? 

From this tail-end image we can depict that one high key lighting would be the smoke luring around the image which gives more of the impression she is a dominant femme fatale. There is an example of low key lighting around the head area of the women which gives a glimpse of her clear cut eyes aiming write at the viewer. 

I think a under lighting is being used to indicate the woman's presence in the picture can't be misconceived. 

In contrast the lighting gives the audience a perception of mystery and uncertainty towards the woman as she can be viewed as having control. 

1. In this picture there is high-key lighting which brings out the dominance in the man's appearance. 

 2. There is also back lighting to give you a clearer understanding of the image as well as it makes the image seem more realistic to our society.

3. The effects we get from this image is because of the high key lighting we get a clearer image as viewers of the man's eyes which are essentially powerful and gives him capability.



















1. This picture would be an example of low-key lighting, why it is used would be to bring out the mysterious features on the women's face.

2. This picture would display back lighting to bring out the characters superior authority and stern facial features.

3.  The effects created in the image would be his smug look would show a pretentious effect around his face.



the lighting used in this picture would be high key-lighting as due to the lighting being produced above her head. There is upper lighting has been employed to vaguely seen to explore the characters facial expression.




















This image would display low key lighting to compact the shadow.  Also from the back lighting the characters expressions are revealed as eerie and mysterious which could symbolise her uncontrollable and vulnerable state.

The lighting in this image used is high key lighting as this implies the romance is being connected from one character to another as they are in a compassionate embrace. The light is realistic as it is coming from a natural source which allows the viewer to relate to this scene. The fact that it is quite enclosed and the lighting is dim links back to the romance of this scene,











This low key lighting suggests the gun is more brightly lit which could comply he is authorised to live by and die by holding the gun. More so from his facial features explain he has a stern personality and is living a criminal lifestyle. This can easily imply he is a protagonist by nature.





This image I would say depicts both high and low key lighting which creates a site of emphasis on the females face. The shadow on her neck emphasises on her prayer as her face is in the light and the contrast allows more focus on her face.











This is low key lighting and the use of under lighting too. This creates strong contrasts between the light and dark and emphasises on her facial features.There is a sense of worry on her face as shown from her facial expression, and this adds onto the atmosphere of the entire scene.







The lighting used in this image is backlighting which hides the identity of the people as their facial features arent visible.  This makes them seem mysterious as we are unaware about who they are. Their shadows are in front of them which is unusual as shadows are usually in the background which adds onto the mysteriousness of this image which is probably the aim of it.
