Now let's talk about light intensity. Now, the light intensity that you should have set, you know, for your scene really depends on the camera you got depends on what it is that you're lighting depends on what is going on in your shot. So if you have a talent who is you know, have a darker complexion, then you might need to use more light sources to to kind of bring out his features as opposed to somebody with pale skin and you might need to, you know, use less light and maybe use more hard light to bring in some shadows and give him some definition to you know, his figure. So if you understand your camera, you understand camera settings, you know what are the default neutral Settings, then you can adjust accordingly. Now if you have to bring up your ISO just to be able to see what it is you're shooting, then you are going to have to bring up the intensity of your life because obviously it's not getting the job done and you're compensating with the cameras.

So to adjust for that, and of course, there are other things you know, like if your camera sensor is adjusted to basically take in very little light, then you're going to need to open a sensor. Now, different cameras have different sensors. So the sensitivity really varies. But once you know what it is that you know what is the standard, what is the default that you should have the default settings that you should have one recording, then adjust your life accordingly. Now make sure nothing is blown out. Because you know something that's blown out is just as bad as something that is too dark.

So try to find the sweet spot in the middle. And then make sure you don't push for the extremes in camera you know, like with the highlights or the shadows, because you can always do that in post. Now that's pretty much it when it comes to light intensity. So let's move on to the next lesson.
