Attractive lighting angles




Under Lighting
This style of lighting is used to add a sinister effect as the lighting is unnatural it shows features as well as hiding others which doesn't look normal, useful for evil characters.





45 Degree Lighting
This angle can be used to highlight a specific part of the face while hiding other features.

Front Lighting
This is used to show that the person is a good guy or that they have nothing to hide, it looks pure so is good for when you are trying to show that the person is not evil.
Side Light
Is used to highlight one feature and hide another it adds a sense of mystery as if the character may have something to hide or the area is just lit in that sort of way and you as the viewer are looking too deeply into it.
Beauty light
Beauty lighting is used to highlight facial features making someone look beautiful.
Back light
The backlight is used to make a character look more mysterious, to hide their face which prompts the viewer to question not only the identity but also what their intentions are because shadowed people aren't always evil.






Edge light 
In this image only one part of the face is covered this allows the directors to hide a specific feature while seemingly making the character look like a good guy.

Genre and cinematography

Image
This picture is a low angle of a tree the genre could be a comedy about a squirrel. The genre is not really reflected as you cannot gather very much from an image of a tree. It is the point of view of the creature running away from a predator, i believe the angle went well as it really captured how large everything is from a squirrels point of view. I think the shot would be improved if there was some motion blur as this would represent the speed of the squirrels' escape and possibly add tension.  This image here is of a woman "running" in an action genre.The genre is reflected vaguely as the image could belong to a variety of genres. I think the image could be improved through the use of a wider shot as it would allow the viewer to see the "peril" she is in as the scenery around her would be more obvious. However I do think the angle of the close up is unique as most "shoe shots" are on flat ground This still here is an extreme close up of
