Lighting in media can be used to set a mood, atmosphere or outline important features in the shot.
There are two types of light. hard light and soft light
Hard light creates sharp shadows with a clean crisp edge unlike soft light which creates a blurred shadow where the edges are faded and not so distinct, by using soft light you make a person seem more youthful and beautiful.
in a 3 point lighting set up you will have a key light, feel light and back light.
the key light decides how much light is in the shot whilst the feel light can be used with gels to create an atmosphere.
if we wanted an atmosphere of horror we might use a red gel as the gel we create the subject to look more red and the light around him redish.
