Brief sound and lighting

In order to make a good quality film of my own i need to learn about things that go in to other films that bring up the quality of the production. So this week we have been learning about different aspects of sound and lighting that all have different uses and purposes to represent different feelings ad emotions that you are tying to show in your film. For example if you were to use a low angle shot in a scene , it makes the character in question look tough , manly ect. But if you use a high angle shot shot it could have the opposite effect, making them look small and weak , whilst giving the impression that you are looking down on them. Its the same with sound , there are different types of sound that give different effects and also can give and take realism in a film. The two main types of sound in a film are digetic and non-digetic sound. Digetic sound is sound that is natural to what is being portrayed in the scene , for example, people chatting or a kettle boiling , are natural sounds. Where as non digetic sound is something that doesn't fit in with the natural things on screen , for example a voiceover, as it is recorded separate to the film and added later.

This is an example of low key lighting, which is created by back and key light only.
