The edge of the shadow is defined by the light source you use. A
pinpoint source gives a sharp edge similar to the sun. A large area
source makes a soft, diffused edge that almost melts away as on an

source is called the keylight.
To create depth, you must separate one obj ect from another
(people from walls, etc.). This can only be done by contrasting light
against dark or dark against light. This is true whether you work in
black-and-white or color. The lights used to do this are called backlights, kickers, rims, liners and glow lights.
In order to create a mood, you must control the detail in the
shadows you' ve cast by adding or subtracting light from these
shadows. This is called fill light.
