If you are filming outside, the light changes dramatically. Big changes in natural lighting can impact continuity. Lighting indicates high or low quality, sets the mood, draws attention to your product and makes it look better and makes your actor look better.
3-Point Fill Lighting create a normal looking scene with soft shadows and average colours.
Chiaroscuro lighting is characterised by harsh lighting that creates an extreme contrast between different areas of the shot, such as a characters face. Can be used with colour, but also can be used in black and white for a different feel. Common in horrors, dramas and any other type of film where the atmosphere of the scene plays a vital role.
High key lighting uses harsh bright lights to reduce contrast in a scene, giving the scene a white-washed, clean look that does not have a shadow in frame.
Low key lighting creates shadows and contrast between colours. It is used to create atmosphere and is about mystery and drama. Often used in thrillers, horrors or romantic imagery.
Back lighting is where the scene is directly lit from behind, usually by some form of natural light, where it creates a silhouette. It can be used for a variety of effects but is most common in romantic.
Natural lighting can be from the sun but can also refer to a light source that has a light yellow or white hue. It is often used in combination with other lighting effects.
Artificial lighting often comes from man-made light sources. Artificial lights often have a blue-grey hue, or a harsh yellow-orange hue. It is also often used in combination with other lighting effects.
