The lecture on lighting has been very interesting thus far. I always wondered the purpose of all the different position of the lights like when I was being photographed for a yearbook or something. I also never understood the purpose of an umbrella and lighting. It was really cool to learn the logic behind the lighting positioning- like at 5:00 and 7:00. I now understand the purpose of some lighting- like in interrogation rooms when the light only comes from overhead and nowhere else.
When thinking of certain ways to use lighting, I thought of the HBO series 24/7 I had watched over Christmas Break about the Philadelphia Flyers and the New York Rangers. It was 4 episodes but at the end- HBO highlights certain player's faces in close up shots. This can be seen starting at 2:27 in the video below:
HBO used lighting so that the players faces were fully light. I think they were trying to emphasize the players bruises, scars, or missing teeth, and the full-facial helped emphasized this.
