Key Lighting: The key light is the biggest and brightest of the light and the most influential, this light is usually shining on the main character or is used to highlight something that may be important to the plot of a film.
The Back Light: The Back light is used to make a character or object more 'rounded', it does this by counteracting the effect of the key light.
Filler Lights: Filler lights soften the harsh shadows that Key and Back lights create, there are usually many filler lights.
Under lighting: This is when the source of light is below the subject the camera is on. This style of lighting is usually used in thrillers and horrors and creates a scary effect on a characters face.
Back lighting: This creates a silohouette which is used to create a feeling of mystery, this style of lighting is used in thrillers.
Top lighting: This is used to hide blemishes and inperfections on the face. It is used on the star(s) of the film to make them look perfect and heroic.
