Hello all,

Good friend and fellow creative, Austin Newell of Studio Grade, wrote an interesting article for his cinematography class on lighting for photos and film. I wasn’t surprised that lighting played such a role in setting the mood, but I was definitely interested in how the lighting was used to create that particular mood. Here’s a snippet.

STUDIO GRADE BLOG:

“In my second week we were tasked with learning and producing 4 different lighting styles to emulate.

BEAUTY

COMEDY

DRAMA

SUSPENSE

In a comedy lighting style the goal is to have everything in the scene evenly lit, similarly to beauty lighting but instead of having separation from the background the background is also lit evenly.

The goal is to not distract the viewer from actors performance, So for comedy everything is basically evenly lit with soft light.”
