In cinema, we want our images to look three dimensional and upstage, or short lighting, is a great way to do this. But does upstage always make a "cinematic" image? Not necessarily. There are other lighting techniques - like broad lighting - which we can use to tell a story. And once we make the connection between story, emotion and lighting, the cinematic feeling will take care of itself.

This is just one aspect of what can contribute toward a cinematic feeling - check out the other episodes in the Lighting for Cinema A - Z series to learn more about what makes cinema feel a certain way:
