How Lighting in Movies Affects Our Feelings

Lighting plays a big role in how we feel when watching movies. It can show feelings of hope or sadness.

Natural Lighting:

• This type of lighting makes scenes feel real and cozy.
• For example, in "The Pursuit of Happyness," soft, natural light helps show moments of hope even when things are tough.

Artificial Lighting:

• This kind of lighting creates strong differences between light and dark, which can make us feel sad or tense.
• In the movie "Se7en," bright, harsh lights create a feeling of stress and darkness, making everything seem hopeless.

When filmmakers use these lighting techniques, they really change how we understand and feel about the story.
