Key Light - Lighting Choices

Lighting Choices

In many cases, the key light is a stage light for indoor scenes, or sunlight for outdoors. A lighting instrument may also be used outdoors to supplement sunlight or as the primary light source with sunlight or skylight serving as fill lighting. Actual lamps, lighting fixtures, can serve as key lights, provided they are of sufficient brightness. They may also appear within the scene as props — in which case they are called "practicals." Similarly, fire, candles and other natural sources of light can be used.

Famous quotes containing the words lighting and/or choices:

    A mother’s happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.
