This picture uses filler light. This picture has top lighting as we can only see the woman’s face from the top left. The rest of the picture is dark meaning the light is only coming from above.The effect of these lightings is to put our focus onto the woman’s facial features and make us feel wonder what is down below.

The lighting in this image is high key. Shadows at his eyes, behind his nose, and on his neck are visible because to the usage of top key lighting. As a result, this image is seen as being more serious. The way the light is shown on him further emphasises the possibility that he is the primary character. The lighting in this image is high key.

Low-key lighting is used in this image. Half of the character's face can be seen more clearly than the other because to the employment of top key lighting that is placed more to the right. the majority of the image is darker than the guy himself, the lighting used helps create action and enigma codes. Additionally, his revolver may still be seen despite the darkness.

The picture uses back light to cancel out key lighting. The picture uses back lighting as the light is coming from behind the character and we can’t see anything else clearly. The effect of these lightings is to make us wonder what else is in the frame and what is going on.

 

                                         

The low-key lighting in this picture was achieved using back-lighting, as can be seen by the shadows cast by the figures. The characters can't be seen because of the darkness, which creates an enigma code.  it also shows that they are some sort of team and the shadows may show power. 


                                                         
This picture uses high-key lighting. The bright lighting helps us as viewers identify the man as the main character. This is also reinforced by the fact that the man is holding the gun.



The woman's shadow is lower than her actual height, demonstrating the low-key lighting provided by the tilted down top illumination in this image. The lighting on the wall, face, and shoulder is likewise quite harsh and dazzling, producing an enigma code. you can really see her facial expression it looks like she is quite concerned about something happening outside the shit.


His picture uses low-key lighting. Back lighting is used in this picture, but in a way that the lighting is very subtle, and smooth which goes with the romantic feeling being shown by the two people. the light is shone through the blinds really focusing on both the characters chemistry in the scene 
                                       

The picture uses key light as everything in the frame is bright.The picture uses top lighting as the persons features are clearly accentuated and there are no shadows or silhouettes in the background.The effect of these lightings could be that there is bright light as the creator could want us to see and focus on the woman and what she could be praying about.


FILM NOIR:

style of filmmaking characterized by such elements as cynical heroes, stark lighting effects, frequent use of flashbacks, intricate plots, and an underlying existentialist philosophy.Film noir typically employs harsh lighting and effective  shadows to compensate for low costs. Shots of characters shrouded by shadowing are famous, primarily when low-key lighting is used to produce suspicious shadows. Film noir relies on low-key lighting to create an uncanny atmosphere

The Hollywood and British production contexts have many differences and can produce very different films.  There are a number of factors that affect the relationship between production contexts and films and these include finance, technology, social and political issues and use of stars.  The Hollywood production context has changed a great deal since the ‘Golden Age’ when all the studios were vertically integrated and the ‘Big 5’ had full control and dominance over the production, distribution and exhibition of films.  Now there are a greater number of studios in Hollywood that are producing films such as DreamWorks and Sony Pictures Studio as well a
