Lighting is the arrangement of lights on set which help to create a particular effect or emotion. There are different types of lights placed in many different positions on set to help create any desired theme, here are the names of a few lighting techniques along with their definitions.
Key Light: Main Light used on the subject.
Filler Light: Used to soften the harsh key light and helps to eliminate shadows.
Back Light: Counters the key light, and allows the subject to appear more "round"
Under Light: When the primary source of light is originated below the subject. (used in horrors.)
Top Light: When the main source of light comes from above the subject. (highlights subjects features.)
Low-Key Lighting: A sharp contrast between light and darkness created via only the key and back lights.
High-Key Lighting: A bright, day light effect created via the use of more filler lights.
