This image is low key lighting as the surroundings are dark, which also means top lighting must be used as only her face is clear in the picture. Furthermore, the use of top lighting creates a sense of mystery and suspense as you cannot see the rest of her surroundings and we are unaware of what she is looking at.

This image is high-key lighting as there is much more colour and the features on the person are clear. I believe that top lighting has been used as you can see the image clearly and it is bright rather than dark. This suggests that he is an important character maybe a king due to the crown.

This image is low-key lighting, this is known due to the key and back lights creating strong contrasts. Under lighting is also used to make the man appear bigger and more threatening.

High-key lighting is being used in this image, this is known as it is very bright and you can clearly see her expressions and features. Her shadows can also foreshadow her death (her soul leaving her body). I think this because her facial expressions indicate she is afraid and trying to escape something.

This picture uses low-key lighting. Back lighting is used in this picture, but in a way that the lighting is very subtle, and smooth which goes with the romantic feeling being shown by the two people.

The low-key lighting creates strong shadows allowing us to understand the image. In this image we can see 4 potential boys walking away from the light, their large shadows give us and idea of how they may be threatening to the man below.

The woman's shadow is lower than her actual height, demonstrating the low-key lighting provided by the tilted down top illumination in this image. The lighting on the wall, face, and shoulder is likewise quite harsh and dazzling, producing an enigma code.

This picture uses high-key lighting created using top lighting. The character here is looking directly at the key light whilst praying.

Back lighting is used in this image to generate Low key lighting.The knife in his hand generates an enigma code and an action code as we cannot see who this person is creating a sense of suspense and mystery.

In this image high key lighting and back lighting is used as well as filler lights to create a more realistic effect. It allows a much more pronounced difference between light and dark contrast to happen. 




FILM NOIR

Is French for "black film"


A a series of crime films with several unique features that were produced in Hollywood between 1940 and 1959. 

Themes and characters: crimes and investigations involving psychologically disturbed men and deceitful women; settings: seedier areas of contemporary cities; visual style: a chiaroscuro world of dark, nighttime urban streets and shadowy, low-key lit interiors; narrative strategies: convoluted investigative plots, dreamlike first-person voice-over narration, flashbacks, temporal ellipses, and often ambiguous endings; and a general mood: a weary, cynical sentiment.
