Document Summary
If it"s 10 am in a room, there will be light coming from the window (sunlight) and light from above in the room (skylight). The sunlight enters the room at a specific angle unique to the time of day, season, and latitude. The quality of the sunlight also subtly tells the audience how the weather is outside. Skylight, which is omni-directional, is generally cooler/bluer in color, and less direct/intense than sunlight. The side of the figure facing the window is it"s highlight side. The opposite side of the figure is it"s shade side. The darkest value in the room is the cast shadow - which is the shadow caused by the main source of light. This is also affected by the light"s position, reflecting the time of day/season/etc. Fill light - light used to fill the shadows cast on the actor by the main source of light.
