What type of lighting is used to eliminate shadows in a scene?

Fill lighting is specifically used to reduce or eliminate shadows in a scene, creating a more evenly lit environment. In television and film production, the key light typically illuminates the subject but may create harsh shadows that can detract from the overall look. Fill lights are strategically positioned to counterbalance these shadows without creating additional contrasting shadows. This results in a more flattering and balanced appearance for the subjects being filmed.

Backlighting can create a silhouette effect, and accent lighting is used to highlight specific areas or elements within a scene, but neither of these techniques is intended to eliminate shadows. Therefore, fill lighting is the appropriate choice for achieving a well-lit scene with minimal shadows.
