Synopsis of the Lighting on the Three Scenes

Since lighting effects the impression of a subject to the viewer so dramatically, the different types and variations of lighting can create different moods for a scene. Different tones, colors, contrasts, intensities, ect, may allow a scene to have it’s own distinct atmosphere. The following involves what moods were intended for each of the three scenes

Late Afternoon
With this seen I attempted to evoke the mood one gets at the end of a day by simulating the light that is cast by the sun towards sunset. To do this I made a spotlight as a Key light to cast a yellow light and positioned it lower and further away from the scene to simulate the suns rays. I used the Fill light to shine normal white light on the scene to simulate the light that bounces around a room. The Back light shines a violet colour to be the contrast of the yellow light. The ambient light of the objects and the scene were also set to this colour.

Ambiance
This scene was lit to give a mood brought about by ambiance in a scene by simulating that kind of lighting that a room would have at night. The Key light was placed at the lamp as a point light to be the light source of the room and set to shine a yellow light. The Fill light was placed higher than the Key light and was set to shine a red color. The backlight was placed the lowest and set to shine a violet color to be the contrast of the Key light. The ambient lights of the objects and scene were also set to a violet colour.

Torches
Though this scene has three lights they are not placed for the three point lighting technique. This is because they have a different purpose rather than lighting the whole scene evenly. Instead they are intended to make the scene appear more eerie by bringing focus to only sections of it and leaving the rest in darkness. The lights themselves represent flashlights that are searching the area.
