Sound and lighting in films.

By Mujebur Rahman

What I focused on. Lighting for the actors

Sound that you hear (cinema and home)

What is lighting (the basics).

The purpose. The main purpose of lighting is to create

realism

To give texture and tone

To make actors TV friendly not offensive (photogenic)

To give “artistic anticipation”

Sound

The purpose To create feeling

To make the action real To give clarity To give body To move you

Progression. We have evolved to theatres or cinemas plus sound for a live effect
