Lighting Experimentation
For this we went into the studio to try different lighting techniques, the one that we found most
effective was the three point lighting technique.

The three point lighting technique consists of three different lights:









Back LightFill Light Key Light
Key Light:  

It’s there to bring light directly to your subject so
that whatever you are filming, the subject is
well illuminated in the shot. Key lights should
not be placed directly in front of the talent or
subject, but instead slightly off to the side.  
Fill Light: 

The fill light fills the dark side of your
subject. The fill light allows you to control the
overall feel of your shot depending on how
much you dim or lighten the fill light.  A dim fill
light will give you more of a harsh, film-noir type
of shadow, while a having the light brighter will
help give your subject a more even look.
Back Light:
The third light is the back light.  A back light will
put another element to the image of your talent
and will push him or her off from the
background, again adding another dimension. 
For this all you need to do is place a light behind
your subject pointed at the back of their neck
and high enough to be out of frame.
