The direction of your light plays a role in how audiences will perceive the subject and environment in a scene as well. (This has more to do with the psychological interpretations of color rather than light, but it's still important.) Putting some blue gels on your light can make things look solemn, sad, and depressing, while using warmer gels can have the opposite effect. For example, low key lighting with a lot of contrast is great for communicating fear, anxiety, distrust, and evilness, while high key lighting with little contrast is great for communicating happiness, peacefulness, joy, and contentment.įurthermore, the color of your light has a huge impact on the message you're sending your audience about the emotion of the scene. Morgan touches on the essential concepts of emotional lighting, including how low key and high key lighting, as well as high and low contrast convey different emotional messages. It's always a good idea to be constantly adding new words to your cinematic lexicon, especially when it comes to lighting, because, you know, it's like one of the most important pillars of our medium.
