Lighting: First Use

Eliza and I reminded ourselves how to use the filming equipment, including the use of the lights for the first time. We learnt how to create depth within the shot, using a back light and key light to create contrasting tones.  For one camera angle we had the camera facing into the light, creating a glowing edge around the actors, while the backlighting ensured the depth of the shot was kept.



We learnt that the lights power source lasts no longer than 25 minutes, some key information for when we begin filming. It was helpful to learn about the use of several lights to create the best depth, and creating angles to get the optimum brightness.
