BLOG QUESTION ADV: REVIEWING 3-POINT LIGHTING

1. What are the three different parts of 3-point lighting?

2. What are three tips that this presenter makes that are different than what you have been taught so far in this class?
3. How can you put this knowledge into use in your future videos?

The 3 different parts of 3 point lighting are the key light (main),back light, and motivated light. The three tips this presenter gives that are new to me are to use objects in the room  or area (such as a lamp) to provide motivated light. If you're doing an interview, setting up a regular back light might work, but it doesn't hurt to add a pop of light in the background if it fits the setting. He also tells us that the strongest light isn't the key light, it's usually the back light. We can apply this knowledge to our future videos by trying to use our setting as a tool to experiment with different lighting techniques. Figuring out what objects alows light to bounce/reflect, what could be used in the background for motivated light, etc.
