Lighting
Artifical Lighting
Artificial lighting is any lighting that is not sunlight. It can be turned on and off at a flick of a switch.
Available Lighting
The term usually refers to sources of light that are already available naturally (e.g. the sun, moon, lightning) or artificial light already being used (e.g. to light a room). It generally excludes flashes, although arguably flash lighting provided by other photographers shooting simultaneously in the same space could be considered available light.
Key Lighting
The purpose of the key light is to highlight the form and dimension of the subject. The key light is not a rigid requirement. Many key lights may be placed in a scene to illuminate a moving subject at opportune moments.
Fill Lighting
Lighting that is used to soften shadows within a scene. Used in conjunction with Key Lighting.
Back Lighting
n the context of lighting design, backlighting refers to the process of illuminating the subject from the back. In other words, the lighting instrument and the viewer are facing towards each other, with the subject in between.
Set Lighting
Set lighting is used to illuminate the set, rather than the characters. It helps highlight the significance of the surrounding set the characters are in.
