Lighting Quiz

Question 1:
1.Key- the main source of light; placed on one side about 30 degrees from the subject. To create texture and space on the subject.

2.Fill- Secondary light; softer than key light; opposite side of Key light and camera. To fill in shadows created by the Key Light.

3.Back light-placed behind subject; provides definition and subtle highlights to the subjects outlines. To separate subject from background.

Question 2:
Well for starters, I would establish that the sunlight is the key light source. Then I would use the key light from the sun to fill in sharp shadows produced by the same light, by using a bounce card with one side having aluminum crinkled up and the other side dented in too. The aluminum crinkles will soften the mirror affect that it has from the sun light that bounces off of the card onto the subject.

Question 3:
We would use the 180-degree rule because once it is established, it establishes the viewers point of view of the movie. By violating the rule it throws off the viewers point of view, and breaks their attention because they have jump out to reestablish the point of view that was changed. The rule is basically a half circle imaginary line that the camera doesn't want to cross. the camera can move anywhere along that line and shoot, but not cross.
