Editing Lighting Techniques for Animation (section)

== Genre/special lighting ==

Standout examples: noir, horror

''The Godfather'' Marlon Brando sitting at his desk—all you can see in his face and his shirt and pattern of light coming coming through the blinds behind him. Everything else is black.

Kubrick's ''The killing'' same with light coming through the blinds and hitting the characters.

Example: still image from ''The Lord of The Rings''. Similarities with the top portion of Hieronymous Bosch's ''Garden of Earthly Delights'', which is very dark with backlit walls and portions of walls. There are small random points of light positioned behind the walls that shine around their silhouettes and through window holes. 

The ''LoT'' still contains streaky light coming through tree tops, suggesting the moon behind the trees. But this is not how moonlight behaves. It is very much an artificial spot light. There is also a secondary light in the far background that has no logical source. It is part of the
scene only to make the riders stand out from the environment.
