Learning Three Point Lighting

 

Good Day classmates, friends, or daily stalker??? In my TV Media Production class we learned about and tested our knowledge on three point lighting. Within the topic of three point lighting we have our key light, fill light, and backlight. All three of these lights have different jobs, but are needed all together to provide better lighting no matter the environment and genre of broadcasting. My classmate Jalyn Woodbury (model) and I (Shamari Blanding; producer for this project) are here to share our experience with this assignment. 

(Before adding any light).... Jalyn and I started off with no lighting. It is recommended to document your results before adding the enhanced lighting that will make vast changes. 

(wide shot-before lighting)... we still did not add any lighting within our wide shots either. When the lights are on, they enhance the lighting in the background as well. 

(After adding the Key light)... The key light is the main light being used when focusing on a subject. It is depended on by directors, producers, photographers, videographers, and broadcasters. 

(Next we have the fill light)... The fill light's definition is just like its name! It is used to fill in the spaces where we may need more light! So when the Key light isn't enough, then we will use the fill light for that extra boost in luminosity. 

(After using the Back Light)... Lastly, we turned on the backlight to get the brighter picture...get it? The back light is used to enhance both the key light and fill light thus, fully completing the lighting for the subject. 

THE FINAL PRODUCT :

ALL LIGHTS ON

TAKE AWAY:

Today I learned about the great importance of lighting when it comes to broadcasting, photography, and videography. Lighting is the exact tool that draws our audience in, no matter the demographic. I also didn't know about how much lighting goes into a lot of broadcasting projects or interviews. This was another fun assignment because it was different and very hands on. 

Thank you all for reading, watching, listening to my blog. I hope to see you all next time and don't forget to meet me in the stars !
