The 6 shots demonstrating different lighting techniques

Frontal key only: It is usually the strongest and has the most influence on a scene. It is
 important when doing this to place the camera on the one side of the
 subject so that the one side is well lit and the other has some shadow.

  


Key light and fill: This lighting can be used for any normal shot for example a
conversation between to people as it shows the whole subject and nothing
is hidden in shadow.

Bottom up lighting: This type of shot creates shadow and atmostphere- it can make a subjects
face look evil and dark.



Top lighting only: As the light in this shot is shining from above the subject it can make the
person appear small and innocent if this is how you want the character
to be portrayed in a scene.

Side light only: In this shot the light is shining from the side of the subject this creates    
shadow to the one half of the subjects face creating mystery as if there is
 something to hide.

Backlight only: This shot is often used to hide a subjects face. The light helps separate the

subject from the background and provide a three-dimensional look.
