Lighting fundamentals

Lighting fundamentals

Lighting is what separates 'video' from 'cinematic'. Learn three-point lighting (key, fill, back) and, above all, learn to see light — its direction, softness, and contrast.

Key points

  • Three-point: key, fill, back.
  • Soft, directional light flatters.
  • Learn to see direction and contrast.

Try it: light a face with one source and a reflector for fill.
