The film i chose which i think uses good lighting is a film called burried.
The whole film is set in the coffin with guy who is burried alive , as he is in a coffin underground it is pitch black, but the use of his mobile phone allows the audience to see what he is doing in the box which i think is very clever and a good use of lighting as it looks natural
It is also good as even though there is light from the phone so you are able to see the auidence can still tell it is dark down there which adds the tension and atmosphere to the film
Three Point lighting
Key Light - This is the main light. It is usually the strongest and has the most influence on the look of the scene. It is placed to one side of the camera/subject so that this side is well lit and the other side has some shadow.
Fill Light - This is the secondary light and is placed on the opposite side of the key light. It is used to fill the shadows created by the key. The fill will usually be softer and less bright than the key. To acheive this, you could move the light further away or use some spun. You might also want to set the fill light to more of a flood than the key.
Back Light - The back light is placed behind the subject and lights it from the rear. Rather than providing direct lighting (like the key and fill), its purpose is to provide definition and subtle highlights around the subject's outlines. This helps separate the subject from the background and provide a three-dimensional look.
Hard Light - coming from a source that's small compared to the subject, casts hard shadows and has high contrast. Outdoors you see this light on a bright sunny day. The sun may be very large but it's also far away and small in the sky so it casts hard light on subjects.
Soft Light - falling on the subject from a source that's large compared to the subject, wraps light around the subject, filling shadows and lowering contrast. Outdoors you see this light on a cloudy bright day when the entire layer of clouds is the light source.
