Main Task - Production

In todays lesson we learnt and discussed the Three Point Lighting. This ligting set up contains three style of lights. These are known as;

1. The Key Light
2. The Fill Light
3. The Back Light

The key light is the strongest light used and is normally placed on the right hand side of the camera.

The Fill lgiht is the second light used, after the key light and is slightly softer lighting. To achieve softer lighting we can use either gels or the scrim.

The back light is the third, and final light that can be used in this setup. This involves having the key and fill light being set up, and when in place the back lgiht will create a near triangle shape with the other lights.

By using this effect we can produce many differnet atmospheres and can lgiht are actors in a variety of different ways depending on how we wish to portray them in the shot.
During the lesson we showed these different lighting effects and took pictures which I shall upload to the blog as soon as possible to show you.
