lighting effects
Theatrical brightness techniques
Lighting effects are the visual results produced by manipulating light sources—in theater, film, photography, or digital media.
Stage lighting effects include spotlights, color washes, and strobes.
In video games and software, lighting effects simulate how light behaves: shadows, reflections, lens flare.
The lighting effects in that scene created an eerie atmosphere.
