The use of lighting is an important use in cinematography to influence the sense of a shot and to create an emotional impact. The choice the filmmaker makes about what types of lights to be used is put to careful consideration. A bright, mellow lighting can offer ease and comfort whereas deep shadows can make a character seem deceitful or unreliable. Lighting also offers a way for directors to focus attention on characters, it can set a location, and it is also used to indicate the time of day. An important type of lighting that is often used in films is low key lighting. This type of lighting is frequently used when the filmmaker is trying to express drama or is trying to isolate a character or an object. This helps to guide the audience
