Key lights
The key light indeed plays a crucial role in the lighting setup of a scene. It's the primary and the brightest light, and its purpose is to illuminate the most important objects and draw viewers' eyes to them. The key light should not necessarily follow the subject at a stretch — it may shine on it through tree leaves, the crowd of people, and other obstacles.[1]
Pro Tip: Create the mood by playing with the color and adding some emotional depth to the scene or a romantic or dramatic touch.
