How and why lighting affects camera techniques for moving image?

In the book 'Motion Picture and Video Lighting'  there is a section which talks about the mood and tone of images and moving picture. It mentions that lighting and camera techniques are used for specifics, the example used in the book is that the lighting and camera techniques are used in fashion shows in order to make the model look incredible.

Lighting is also very important in order to add shape depth and dimension to a scene, it is important as to where the lighting is coming from as this helps to build the overall depth of the shot itself. This is shown in the book 'Motion Picture and Video Lighting' it say's "Lighting from the side or back reveals the shape of an object" followed by "This is important for the overall depth of the shot". Lighting is important as it can shape the mood of a scene, for example low key lighting can help to ensure the scene is mysterious or scary e.g. horror films often use low key lighting.

Separation ensure the subject stands out from its background a range of lighting techniques such as "backlight" and making the area behind the subject "significantly darker or brighter than the subject". These are all ways in which lighting has a significant effect on moving image.
