the basic lighting scheme used in filming is a three-point system which is a key light, fill light and a back light. firstly a key light is the primary light in a scene that stimulates natural light e.g out doors or a light as a prop in a scene. secondly, a fill light softens the shadows craeted created by the key light . lastly the back light helps to out line a subject, usually placed placed behind or above the subject so tht the light doesn’t come directly into the camera. more extensive lighting systems include:

• eyelight- a small light used to reflect into an actors eyes to make a shine/ sparkle
• background light- light up the background of a set
• kicker light- similar to a back light, which helps seperate the subject from the background.

using these lighting techniques you can obtain many effects, by changing the intensity of light, duffuseness and position’s o light to get a full effect.

Storyboards are illustrations used to plan out a film or animation. In a storyboard the most common form is to create a number of sketches/drawings of what you want to take place in your motion picture or animation. It’s a step by step plan showing each shot in your film or what ever you are creating on paper. In these sketches you will draw out what will happen in each shot and scene but also write next to each shot what dialogue will be used if any, what camera shot/angle will be used and any other impotant information. This slowly builds up what the film or animation will look like in its final form.
