Lighting practice:


3-Point Fill lighting:
This type of lighting creates a normal-looking scene with soft shadows and average colours. Using 3-light setup to provide normal lighting across an entire object, the exact opposite of chiaroscuro. This is used in most 'normal' scenes with any object.




Chiaroscuro lighting:
This lighting is characterised by harsh lighting that creates an extreme contrast between areas of the shot, such as a characters face. It can also be used with colour or be used in black and white.




                                                      High key lighting:
It uses harsh, bright lights to reduce contrast in a scene. This gives the scene a white-washed, clean look that does not have any shadow in frame.





Backlighting:
When the scene is directly from behind, usually by some form of natural light, where it used to create a silhouette. It can also be used for a variety of effects but it is mostly used in romantic films.

Natural light: 
This comes from the sun, but it can also refer to a light source that has a light yellow or white hue. It is used in a combination with other lighting effects.




Artificial lighting:
Intentionally man-made light sources, such as light bulbs of fluorescent lights. Artificial lights often are blue/grey.
