Film - 3 Point Lighting

Friday's session was a very practial lesson. We went over the basics of lighting again, learning '3 point lighting'. Obviously this consists of three different lights. The Key light, which is the main light to light the subject. The fill light, which is used to fill in shadows of the face. And the back light. This light is used to create a rim-light around the subject to seperate them from the background. The 3 point lighting system is used mostly for lighting just one person, in an interview of news report for example.

This is what we ended up with. It isn't perfect because we didn't have enough time to adjust the lights around, so we just worked with what we had.
