Transcript

Now in this lesson, we're going to be talking about three point lighting. Now I know this light setup here deviates from what you're probably used to. But this is the standard scene light setup. And, of course, the background is not really looking the best right now. And that's mostly because this intense backlight and it works as a hair light, that's what you would call it. So what I'm going to do is turn off all of the lights that I have here so that you can see the effect the ambience is having on me.

Now I'm probably invisible right now. So I just put on a key light so that I can at least exist you know on video is obviously the most powerful light here. And we spoke about this with the three types of lights because you have the key light, you have the fill light, and then you have the hair light. Now earlier I just had the hair light on it was a little too much. So I turned that off. And now I'm gonna turn On the fill light so that he can basically light me up because one side of me is a little too dark.

So this is closer to my normal setup, and then the hair light. If I had something that would basically take away this light effect on the background, then I'll be more inclined to turn it on. But you saw the effect it played in the scene when I had this like halo around me, and it was on one side, and this is usually used to separate someone from the background. Now I'm going to briefly turn on this light so that you can get a better understanding of what I'm saying for the most part. So I'm gonna get to that now. Now, as you can see, there's a little halo around me, and the light is a little bit intense.

So if I wanted to have this type of light setup, I would have to optimize it so that it doesn't affect the background, and the light intensity can be somewhat controlled, but I'm sure you see what role this light plays in the scene. So this will be a hair light or the backlight, some will call it and then you got your fill light, and then you got your key light. Now I'm back to my standard setup. I choose not to use a headlight, it really is, it really doesn't do that much for me. So I decided to exclude it from my setup. And now you understand the three point lighting system.

So let's move on to the next lesson.
