Types of Lighting

Low Key Lighting is created by only using key and backlights which produces sharp contrasts of light and dark areas. Shadows and silhouettes are formed. High Key Lighting is created by filler lights, the lighting is natural and realistic to our eyes which produces brightly lit sets.

Terminology-Sound

Sounds in films

• Sounds are used in films to create an understanding for the audience and to create more meaning about the character and emotions. 
• Sound is also used to create a response to the audience.

Diegetic Sound is a sound which is part of the film world. e.g dialogue, music from radio. The sound can be on and off the film. Non-Diegetic Sound is a sound which is not part of the film world e.g soundtrack, sound effect. Emphasizing of sound.

On screen sound is a sound in which you can see where the sound is coming from e.g... radio and Off screen sound is a sound in which you can hear sound but can't see it.

Parallel Sound is when a sound goes with the image.

Contraputal Sound is when the sound doesn't match the expectations of what you are viewing.

In todays lesson I have learnt that Low key lighting is one of the main lightings used in a Thriller film to create shadows and that diegetic and non-diegetic sounds are also very conventional to a Thriller film. I will take these into consideration for when I make my opening for a Thriller.
