Orlando Training, learning how to do lighting


Here we are getting a lesson on lighting. lighting is one of the best ways to turn average footage into great footage. In the picture they are setting up a simple 3 point lighting. The one in front has a soft box, this is used to defuse the light to make it softer on the image, the one in the back can be call a back light or rim light, this is used to give a nice highlight on the shoulders and back of head. we also learned how to used reflector to add light in certain areas, and gels to change the color temperatures of the light. sun light is a much high temperature which is a more of a blue color, and normal florescences are a cooler temperature which are more orange. So once you get your light set up we also learned how to white balance the camera to get the right white setting based on the type of light we are using.
This was one of my favorite lessons and i learned so much.
