Lighting Techniques

Lighting techniques in cinematography play a crucial role in enhancing visual storytelling. They manipulate light to create mood, highlight subjects, and establish depth. Techniques such as three-point lighting, natural lighting, and chiaroscuro are commonly used. Key considerations include direction, intensity, color temperature, and quality of light. Mastering these elements allows filmmakers to evoke emotions and guide the audience's focus, ultimately shaping the overall aesthetic of the film.
