Lighting

Small Lighting:Diminutive specks of light are used to light up the scene e.g. a bulb. They usually cast strong,hard shadows and usually used to light up certain parts of the scene.

Big Lighting: Large portions of light which illuminate the entire scene and are usually artificial. They cast less shadows and are usually used for groups shots and scenes with lots of detail.

Direction of Lighting: Lighting from different directions can affect the perception of characters greatly. For example, lighting from below makes characters look scary, lighting from the side seems atmospheric and lighting from above can makes characters seem suspicious as you cannot see their eyes.

Outdoor Lighting: Shots which are made outside and different times of day can affect the shot. For example, daylight is useful as there are no shadows, can shot in any direction and it is easier to get
better shots.

Indoor Lighting: Lighting within the shot has an indoor source and they use artificial lighting which is easier to use. An example of indoor lighting is a lamp or ceiling lights.
