Lights.

Lights have an important role to play in video-graphy. There are certain effects that can be created throuh lights. On our trip to the sets of Syed Noor, we were shown the different types of lights normally used in Pakistan.

The key lights used in Lollywood

The most common forms of lights used in Pakistani film industry is the key and the background light. it was very helpful studying the lights used in Pakistani film Industry and then comparing it to those used in Hollywood.
The scene i selected for studying lights is from the movie 'INSIDIOUS'
Its a very basic scene in which they are bringing Delton back.

The first scene uses a general low key lighting in the background.This means that the light used is soft in nature and is not adequate enough creating shadows.The main subject is not clearly lightened up.

Similarly, the lights used in this shot is called the back light. The main source of light is at the back and it gives an outline to the characters.

This scene has both key and fill light. Key light refers to the main light which falls on the character directly. The Fill Light softens and extends the illumination provided by the key light, and makes more of the subject visible
