  What is lighting in film? Why is it significant to film-making? Document, define, and list 6 lighting techniques. Provide examples. Lighting is the direction, quality, source, and color of a light. It is important in film because it creates a visual mood, atmosphere, and sense of meaning for the audience. Lighting direction is where the location of the light source is placed in relation to the subject.  Frontal lighting is when the light source is placed in front of the subject. Frontal lighting is a lighting technique where the light source is placed in front of the object.  Shadows on the face are balanced by the neutral lighting.

For this assignment, we had the task of creating videos to match the content of our storyboard. The purpose of this assignment is to  demonstrate the use of a storyboard in producing camera movement video clips to practice in creating our final film. Renee P. was the camera person during the filming of most our videos, however, I was the camera person during one scene when Renee was involved in the script.

In our video, we used the ground level shot and zoom in technique to demonstrate a character running away from something in fear.  The most difficult technique to ex...

  While working on this assignment, me and my teammates reviewed different aspects that can be implemented into our films. These examples include shots sizes, angles, and camera movements. This storyboard helped us realize that we can use various techniques to demonstrates the emotions of a character during a scene. For example, a close-up shot could be used to draw attention a character's facial expressions. This can show their moods more clearly. The setting, acting, and costumes also plays a crucial role in our film. It can influence the tone of the scene at the moment. Using these aspects will result in a successful film!
