Planning and lighting the set

Three point lighting involves what is known as a ‘key light’ – a powerful spot light aimed at the talent. The shadow that this creates is countered by a fill light that is placed on the adjacent side to the key light. Another spot light is added behind the talent to provide backlight. This separates the talent from the background and creates a more interesting detailed set. and we decided to use this style of lighting for our final peice, as a group we decided this was best after doing some rehearsals and getting used to working lights.
