Understanding Video Lighting1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteUnderstanding how to light and how to harness light is an essential skill for anyone who uses cameras but to many it is very much a weak area. If you are new to lighting or don’t feel your knowledge is as good as it should be this guide will be very helpful. Filmmakers and photographers alike will agree that lighting is key for the perfect shot. A natural, yet undervalued tool, which separates good filmmakers from the greats.
When used to enhance the film, natural and synthetic lighting draws the audience into the scene. Its ability to break down barriers and blur realities makes it a key component to consider when filming. Any light kit, even an inexpensive one or a DIY one, will make a world of difference for your filming as opposed to having no kit at all, and not being able to use your extra lights to control the scene as necessary.
