The Essentials of Lighting for Film
Light is the most important tool available to you when enhancing the atmosphere and mystery of your story on camera. On the shoot, the Director of Photography will spend the greater part of his or her time getting the lighting set-up to best represent the scene's aesthetic and emotional needs.
Using a digital camera and a simple lighting kit, this workshop will introduce you to the basics of lighting for moving pictures, with emphasis on working on the low-budget digital formats.
The course covers:- Working with available light
- Using Tungsten lights and daylight together
- Hard & soft lighting
- 3 & 4 point lighting set-ups
- Diffusion & flagging to control light
- Creating a cinematic look
- Q & A
