Still image-Lighting

 

 



This is a still image taken from ‘The Godfather’. In this image we can see a man wearing a formal suit sitting in an arm chair with his arms flat on the arm rests. This is shown with top lighting which makes certain features stand out; as the actors face is more lit up, however we can still see some dark areas such as his eyes which creates a shadowy effect. Low-key lighting is used which creates a shady, dim effect in the background. There could be a filler light being used which does soften the image, as we can see a glow of light from the hands and face of the actor. As his face it lit up, this connotes importance and authority, also by the way he is sitting. The background is all black and dark which connotes it is not important and the only thing important in the image is the actor.
