  1. Lighting For Video Paul McCormick AD30400 Video art Spring 2014

  2. Overview • Identify the 4 most common types of lights • Lighting hierarchy (main, fill, hair, background) • Discuss common lighting arrays (3 and 4 Point) • Location Lighting

  3. Incandescent • Burns with a yellow/orange light. • Inexpensive with a short burn life • Low wattage • Does not produce a great deal of light.

  4. Fluorescent • Widely used in the video industry • Provides a soft, even light • Large selection of color temperatures

  5. Halogen or Quartz • Most prevalent light source used in video production • Burns hot and bright and comes in high wattages • Long burn life • Intense heat and high power consumption

  6. Led • Low energy consumption with a high output • Long burn life • Both on and off camera options available

  7. Kit Introduction

  8. Spot Vs. Flood • Spot Light • Anarrow beam of light that often covers less than 45 degrees from source • Used to highlight or accentuate • Flood Light • Wide beam that covers an area of up to 120 degrees from source • Used to fill in shadows

  9. Main or Key Light • Key light is the most important light in a standard lighting set up. • The key light will be the hottest or brightest light its purpose is to highlight the subject • 30 or 60-degree angle on the either side of the camera.

  10. Key Light only • Using only a key light will unevenly accentuate the subject while leaving your background flat and under lit

  11. Key light placement • High Placement • A key light placed above the subject projecting down will be felt as natural light and wont distort the shadows much. • Low placement • A key light placed below the subject projecting up will cast shadows on the face and elongate facial features giving the subject a dramatic effect.

  12. Fill Light • Used to reduce contrast caused by the key light. • Not as bright as key light • Placed opposite of the key light at the same angle

  13. Hair or Kick light • Shines on the subject from behind • Gives the subject a rim of light • Separates the subject from the background and highlights contours

  14. Background Light • Illuminates background elements • Placed very high or very low • Creates Depth

  15. Three Point Set up with hair Light

  16. Three Point Set Up with Background Light

  17. Four Point Set up

  18. Modifiers • Barn Doors • Facilitate shaping of the beam of light from the fixture • Umbrella • Diffuses your light reducing harshness • Bounce • Reflective surface used to bounce a concentrated beam of light • Flag • Object used to block light

  19. Simple Location Lighting • Using the sun and a bounce • Bounce (spot) acts as key light • Sun (flood) acts as fill and background
