So let's talk about ambient light. Now ambient light is the light that is in the scene. So this can be anything from the sunlight to the light you have indoors. And the reason why this is really important to know, you know, what role this ambient light is having, or what effect this ambient light is having on your scene is because you always have to be mindful of it, regardless of where you're shooting, and at what time of day you're shooting. So you don't want to go in and start filming something. And then you say, Oh, this didn't come out how I wanted it to be because I didn't account for this or I didn't account for this, or you know, you didn't, you were a little bit late.

So you know if the sun isn't quite as bright as you thought it would be, and all of this or if it's cloudy or rainy. All of this is really going to play a role in how your thing looks, or in how your shot or photos look in the end. So be mindful of it. And the best way to practice is to actually just shoot your shot. Using only ambient light. A lot of times you would use you know, light say you already have in order to enhance certain effects and features that you might that you might want to you know, push.

Try shooting outdoors, try shooting indoors, try using the window as your light source and try to see what type of effect it has on you. Just experiment with ambient light so that you can know what role it will play in your production. And that just about covers ambient light. Now let's move on to the next lesson.
