The next time you go to a movie or rent a video, pay close attention to the way the director uses lighting to help create the mood in a scene. Good lighting designers work very closely with directors to build a lighting scheme that adds to the drama of a scene and intensifies the emotions we often just attribute to the actors or the action. Lighting can make a scene feel happy, sad, mysterious or even dangerous. Throughout this column we will talk about the various ways you can set up lighting to achieve different emotional feels for the same scene. We will discuss light placement, color, strength and variations on the basic key, fill and back light setup that is used in three-point lighting.
