How Lighting Changes Everything | Traditional vs. Modern Cinematography 101

Stay tuned to the end for a chance to win a prize! On this episode of 4MFS, Valentina shows us how to light for two different genres - a 50’s-style sitcom and a modern slasher/thriller. These two visual styles couldn’t be more different from each other because we wanted to demonstrate how a cinematographer achieves the right mood through lighting. We’re looking at the difference between high-key and low-key lighting, soft frontal light and hard far-side key, diffused light and hard gobo patterns, etc. How do framing and frame rates also play into effect? Watch us craft each scene’s visual styles using a wide range of tools from Honeycrates grids to Astera tube lights to Lightbridge reflectors. Want more free lighting and cinematography tutorials?
