Mise En Scene

High Key Lighting And Low Key

High-key lighting is a style of lighting for film, television, or photography
that aims to reduce the lighting ratio present in the scene. This was
originally done partly for technological reasons, since early film and
television did not deal well with high contrast ratios, but now is used to
suggest an upbeat mood.

Low-key lighting is a style of lighting for photography, film or television. It

is a necessary element in creating a chiaroscuro effect. ... Low key light
accentuates the contours of the subject by throwing areas into shade
while a fill light or reflector may illuminate the shadow areas to control
contrast.
 Projection
Rear projection (also known as process photography) is
part of many in-camera effects cinematic techniques in
film production for combining foreground
performances with pre-filmed backgrounds. It was
widely used for many years in driving scenes, or to
show other forms of "distant" background motion.
 Special Effects
Special effects are visual illusions in a film or
image, or the art of creating such illusions. An
example of special effects is making it seem that
a person is falling off a mountain and then
making that person seem to scale back up the
mountain.
 Three point lighting
Three-point lighting is a standard method used in visual media
such as theatre, video, film, still photography and computer-
generated imagery.
