Lights Analysis

The scene I chose for my lights analysis was a trailer of the movie 'Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince'

The following is the link to the trailer I have chosen.

This scene is shot in mid-daylight when the sun is going down with enough light that the image is not over-exposed or looks too blown out. The entire vista shot is lit up with a high-key light on all sides, forming a balanced scene.

                                       

This is another scene from the trailer whereby a low key light has been used with lights coming in from the windows showing the placement of light at a high angle from that of the subject. We can say that it is a low key light as it has tones of grey. As is evident, the subjects are lit up from the faces while the light tones down as the subject is left bereft of light from below. The lights used signify a high key side light with shadows forming on part of the faces.  

                                        

This is a side light whereby shadows are forming on the other side of the scene. The light is placed on a high angle as the light tones down from the lower right of the image as compared to the higher left, too. The side  light has been used on a 45 degree angle, forming a side light.

                                       

This is again a side light with high levels of light on the left. The light is placed on a north-western angle, shadowing part of the old man's body. The light used is a low key light as it shows darker tones of black and tungsten.

This scene is a side light and a black light. We can see that the subjects face is lit on the side while dark shadows cover the other half of his face. In the second scene, a back light or a rim light has been used to outline the contours of the test tube.

This scene shows a low key light being use, showing only a dark shade of grey. As the scene is shot from a high angle, we can see the contours of a city below, however no key light has been used, signifying a gloomy place with little to be excited or happy about.
