Lighting people is the staple of a cinematographer’s duties, and there are several ways to do so. This module covers the foundation of good lighting - the three point lighting system. Go onto the set as Emmy-winning cinematographer Jason J. Tomaric walks you through each step of effectively employing the three point lighting system to create the look you want.
Whereas most books and videos stop there, this module takes this technique one step further by teaching you how to adapt the three point lighting system for dramatic, dialogue-based projects.
