Lighting is important in video and film production the correct lighting can determine the mood of the scene and can evoke a more dramatic or subtle palette for the film. Usually Low key lighting is used in these movies since they instantly make the scene more dramatic since low key lighting promotes a more dramatic or subtle palette for the film which is mainly the back ground or the most important part of a movie.

Romance films make a use of both lowkey and highkey lighting, since brightly lit or “High-Key” scenes tend to be more cheerful and upbeat, while darker “Low-Key” scenes hold more intrigue.
