NOTES ON DIFFERENT LIGHTING TECHNIQUES (3)

Distorting through lighting

Now, uplighting, silhouette, and prominent shadows take it a step further and produce a complete distortion of the real world. As the video explains, the shadows made on faces when lighting from below don't usually occur in nature, so it creates "instinctive alarm" to those who view them. Silhouettes add a bit more to this distortion, because they don't give us enough of the information we're looking for, like facial features, attire, etc. This distortion is even more intense when it comes to casting prominent shadows, because it plays upon the human fear of the unknown.

This again shows the depth into lighting and that it makes sure that we are now more aware of it. We have learnt a lot which now we are going to elaborate on from the preliminary task and take it a step further.
