2. • Three-point lighting is important because only a single
light source can only illuminate from one side. But with
three-point lighting, it will add lighting to your photos
and videos with dynamic sound. It can also set the mood
of a character. This is by having bright light and minimal
black light. It can make the scene look happier and
brighter. The key light is angled 45 degrees to the camera
and is the brightest camera out of them all. The fill light
uses 50-75 percent of key light and is used at a medium
intensity. It is also usually at a 45-degree angle from the
camera. The back light represents the third element of
three-point lighting. This is the dimmest light out of
them all and is pointed around 125 degrees away from
the camera.
3. • LED lights are useful because, they are
easily accessible, they can be controlled
remotely which is easy to use
for all filmmakers, they can often lightweight,
easy to use on set and have a long lifespan.
LED lights are also cheap to rent. Also, the
color rendering index is exceptionally
balanced. This means the light accuracy
relates true color information of an object to
a human eye.
4. • A HMI is a powerhouse lamp
lighting source which is mainly used
for outdoor filming. They are also useful for
filming in large sets. They are also powerful
lights which can be used without cresting
much heat. They can also mix with the suns
light to create a brighter light. They can also
come in multiple colors. The HMI lights are
much more powerful than LED lights.
5. • Chiaroscuro lighting is a film lighting style that
emphasizes shadow and light. This filming technique
makes films more dramatic, adding more dimensions
to what you see on screen. This filming technique is
also high-quality contrast which can create a more
dramatic effect. The light can create an
undefined background which envelops the character
involved in the shot. The effect on a face creates a
tension between what is clearly and what is unseen
or only dimly perceived.
6. • Florescent lights are useful because they
are simple to use and easily accessible. There
is no camera syncing required and therefore
can be used by any camera. They are often
used by beginners in this industry because
they are easily accessible and easy to use.
These type of lights also require less energy
and have a longer lifespan. This means that
don’t need to be replaced as often. These
lights also have a high voltage which means
that the lights are quite bright.
7. • Tungsten lights are most used at low
temperatures which naturally produces
colorful overtones. This creates an effect to
indoor lighting. Tungsten lights are also
useful at higher color temperatures, this
means it can produce brighter tones to the
blue light the human eye perceives as
daylight color. Tungsten lights also get bluer
when the lamp is running at higher
temperature.
