One thing that I learned from those videos is how important lighting is. You can make such a difference in you movie if you have those three types of lighting that "Sam" was talking about: back light.
In this video I learned that if you place your key light 2-4 feet above the subjects eye level to make it look like a natural environment. The key light adds the most illumination but it also leaves harsh shadows. To get rid of the harsh shadows you add the fill light.- Tim M.
Here's what I got out of the video. If your fill light is as bright as the key light either scoot it back or get a less intense light. Your backlight should be about 1-2 ft. above the person's head becaouse it creates a nice circle of light that shines down but doesn't spill into the camera.
First: key light. When you raise your key light a few feet above the subject, it creates a natural light very much like the sun. Second: fill light. The fill light will remove the harsh shadows from the face of the subject, and the person look very nice on camera. Third: backlight. You should raise this light above the subject, also 4-5 feet away from the subject. This light, once on, will separate the subject from the background. When we setup on Thursday, we will all be ready to use these tips.
