2. What does the angle of your light have to do with your character and story?
3. How can you incorporate this in your film noir?
Front lighting creates minimal shadows onto the face, creating a flat look. Lighting slightly above the head can define the cheek and jawlines to create a beauty shot. a Top light will create deep shadows especially near the eyes, creating a mysterious and unsettling mood. Side lighting covers an entire side of the face while illuminating the other. Angle of light can illuminate or darken a specific part of the character, creating different moods. Adjusting lighting can identify which part of the character the audience is able to see. The film noir can utilize different lighting angles to convey different emotional states of the character. For example, a despicable character can have a top light so that their eyes are cast in shadows.
