2. What are three key things you learned in the video that you can put to use when lighting?
Flags are used to direct or block lights on a set. Some things I learned are the different ways you can utilize flags to direct lights (blocking the top, bottom, or sides of them). Blocking the top of a light will keep the light on your subject but eliminate the light spilling onto the background. Blocking the bottom will remove light casting onto your subject and light their background, creating a harsh shadow on their face and giving the space above them light. Having flags on the side will allow you to remove spill from your light. There are also different sizes and types of flags that can be used for different scenarios. A floppy can be used for lighting and blocking light from a monitor, and there are different ways to hinge them. A cutter is useful for blocking out light in a shot that requires a longer cut. It also helps with light spill.
