Lighting for film can also be called stage lighting. The pros to using artificial lighting is that it can be controlled easily. If a scene is being shot outside, the weather could definitely affect the lighting and it might not turn out how it was supposed to. Also, if you wanted to film something outside at sunset it might not work out if the actors are having a hard time getting their lines right or if the equipment isn't working correctly because if you take up too much time with that, then the sunlight might already be gone.
Lighting can also help to portray the mood or the emotion of the scene. The intensity of the illumination is what helps with that. A soft backlight will be used for the female actors that are meant to look flawless and beautiful. Uplights create a mysterious and unknown effect. (This is especially true when a lot of things are in shadows and only certain things can really be seen) Lights can also direct attention for the audience to where they need to be looking. Lighting helps to create the environment in the film and is very important!
