To do three-point lighting, start with a hair light, key light, and fill light. The hair light separates the subject from the background, making the edges of them stand out and drawing attention to the face. You want to be careful that the light doesn't shine at the camera as it could create a flare. It can help make your video seem more cinematic. The key light is the most important and strongest light hitting your subject. It's usually pretty close to the subject. This can create certain shadows on the face depending on the angle you put the light on. The fill light can be used to fill in the rest of the shadows and is usually further from the subject. Turning off any of these can create different moods for your video. If you just have a key light, it can make your subject look mysterious/brooding depending on how the shadow hits their face. If you just use a hair light, you could make your subject look dream-like. I would like to learn more about key lighting and hair lighting as they seem to create really cinematic looking shots.
