high key lighting involves a lot of whites and light tones. there are very minimal mid-tones and blacks. it is used to produce images/scenes that create an optimistic and upbeat mood. a high key lighting style often involves a soft key light that is placed near to the camera but not too near to the subject. when positioning the light directly in front of the subject, less shadows are created, making the skin look softer and smoother.
in harry potter and the deathly hallows part two, high key lighting has been used as the background is lighter than the characters. in these two shots, they are no blacks or other darker colours, only white. using high key lighting in these scenes creates a soft and almost angelic look and feel.
