What are three new interesting things you've learned in this video? What does cross-lighting mean? How can you put these into practice in your next film?
Three new interesting things that I've learned in this video are broadside and short side, high key vs. low key, and cross-lighting. Broadside is when the light is hitting the side of the face that's facing the camera, which usually creates a flatter look, with short side being when the light is on the side further from the camera, which usually creates a look with more depth. High key lighting is the flatter more even look that's often used in sitcoms, romance, or comedies. Low key lighting is the more dramatic and high contrast lighting you often find in more dramatic films and genres, such as film noirs. Cross-lighting is when you use two lights to light two actors, which creates a sort of cross pattern with the placement of the actors and lights being the endpoints. When cross-lighting, a light source acts as both a key light for one actor and a backlight for the other. I can put these into practice in my next film by using these concept to increase the depth of my visual storytelling and appeal. I can use low-key lighting for more drama in select scenes and more high-key lighting for other scenes.
