Basic lighting

• Key Lighting is the brightest and most effective.
• The Back Light helps to cancel out the effect of the key light and creates a silhouette.
• Under Lighting is is when the main source of light is coming from underneath the character.
• Back lighting is when the light source comes from behind the character.
• Low key lighting is when only the back light and key light is used.
• High key lighting is when the image appears bright and well lit up
• Filler Light is the type of light that helps to soften the shadows  that both key and back light have created.
• Top Lighting is when the main source of light is shining from above the character making facial features more obvious.
