Just as in photography, lighting technique is critical for recording good quality
Three Point Light Set Up
In this type of set up lights are placed at three different positions to create a desired effect on the subject.
Main and fill lights are placed on the either side of the subject at some angle. Fill light is dimmer in compare to the primary one. Another light, behind the subject, is placed for isolating it from the background
Lights for Lively and Comic Moods
Technicians do go beyond the defined three point light phenomenon when filming a lively scene
In this case a large number of video lighting devices are used, at different positions
Position of lights is determined depending on the kind of effect is desired
Side Lighting
In this type of lighting technique, the key light is placed sideways from the subject.
It enhances the texture of theobjects and persons being videographed.
This technique is used for shooting serious scenes
Low Key Light
The above technique sometimes can also be categorised as low key light but here we will basically discuss low intensity lighting for horror and suspense scenes
Dimmer lights are used for creating this effect. Number and position of lights depend on the nature of the scene.
