The "Dramatic Use" of "High Contrast" between "Light and Dark" to create "Depth" and "Mood." * '''Three-Point Lighting''' β The "Standard System": **Key Light** (The Main), **Fill Light** (Shadow reduction), and **Back Light** (Separation from background). * '''Depth of Field''' β The "Range of Distance" that is in "Focus": "Shallow" (Blurred background) or "Deep" (Everything clear). * '''Rule of Thirds''' β A "Composition Tool": "Dividing" the frame into "9 Rectangles" and "Placing" the "Subject" on the "Lines" or "Intersections." * '''Color Grading''' β The "Process" of "Altering" the "Colors" of the film to create a "Specific Tone" (e.g., 'Blue' for cold/sad, 'Yellow' for warm/memory). * '''Aspect Ratio''' β The "Shape" of the "Screen" (e.g., '1.33:1' for old TV, '2.39:1' for Cinemascope). * '''Lens Focal Length''' β "Wide Angle" (Captures more space, distorts close-ups) vs "Telephoto" (Compresses space, blurs backgrounds). * '''Practical Lighting''' β Using "Sources of Light" that are "Visible in the Scene" (e.g., 'A Lamp,' 'The Sun,' 'A Fire'). </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
