  18. Learning Intentions • To explore the film technique of LIGHTING • To understand how lighting can be used to build atmosphere and set tone within a film

  19. Lighting • Lighting is used by the directors and cinematographer to create MOOD and ATMOSPHERE. • Two types of lighting used are LOW-KEY LIGHTING and HIGH-KEY LIGHTING.

  20. Lighting • LOW-KEY lighting is when the lighting of a scene is very dark, with shadows and only a few bright spots. This helps create TENSION in a scene, and indicates that something may be about to happen, or to emphasise a subdued mood.

  21. Lighting • HIGH-KEY lighting is when a shot is evenly lit, with few dark areas. There tends not to be a lot of tension in scenes like this.

  22. Lighting • Which of the below images are LOW-KEY and HIGH-KEY lighting? • What effect does it create for the audience?

  27. Learning Intentions • To develop knowledge of the different camera shots used within film-making • To understand their purpose and the effect they have on an audience

  28. Film Techniques - Sequence What is a SEQUENCE? • In the same way that you know the code for getting words in a sentence in the right order (you don’t say, for example. ‘Name my John is’), the film maker has codes for conveying his messages. A film-maker’s ‘sentence’ is a sequence of shots; and to make sense they come in a definite order. • Now, let’s look at the worksheet

  29. Camera Shots and Angles • Long shots are often used at the start of a film to tell you where a film is set. • A long shot is taken from far away and shows a big picture. • Look at the following long shots and discuss what information the director might be wanting to tell the audience about where and when the film will take place or even what kind of film it will be.

  30. Long Shot • Where is this? • Note how just one image instantly sets this film in a particular place. • With one frame the director tells the audience where the film will be set.

  31. Another long shot • Where is this? • What kind of a film would begin with this sort of image?

  32. Where is this? • What kind of a feeling does this image give the audience?

  33. Long Shot • When do you think a film that begins with this scene might be set?

  34. Medium Shot • This is often used to show characters in a background

  35. Medium Shot • This is a typical medium shot, placing a character in a background.

  36. Close Up • The next type of camera shot is the close up. • These are often used to show how a person is feeling. • A close up can also focus in on a thing to emphasise it.

  37. Close Up • This is a close up shot of a woman’s face. • What do you notice about her?

  38. Another Close Up • What emotion do you think this boy is showing? • How is he feeling?

  39. More close ups • How are these people feeling? • How do you feel when you look at these images?

  40. Close Ups • How do you feel when you see this close up? • Why do you think the film maker used this shot?

  41. Close Ups • How do you feel when you see this close up? • Why do you think the film maker used this shot?
