Effective light in a video recording is incredibly important.
- To help, there is a 3 point set up for lighting
- Key Light
- brightest light in current surroundings
- produces harsh shadows
- Fill light
- minimizes harsh “Key light” shadows by 50%
- Back light
- 50% darker than “Fill light”
- separate image from back, image will not appear flat
- Key Light
- Natural sun light is best in certain outside scenes, but sometimes the sun does not want to cooperate.
