This unit has taught me a lot about lighting and the different tools at our disposal. I learned how to apply flags, gels, and diffusers depending on how I want to light a scene. I also learned the different kinds of lighting and what they're used best for (e.g. flourescent for interior office shots, HMI to replicate sunlight). Through the Film Noir, I learned how to use lighting to manipulate our audiences and direct them to pay attention to certain things on screen/evoke feelings using shadows. I also learned different concepts such as chiaroscuro lighting and color theory. Two things that I'd like to go more in depth and learn about on my own is the psychology and history behind horror films.
