Film Making 102: 3 Point Lighting

3 POINT LIGHTING

• This lighting uses 3 points of light to light up a subject.

The lights we will need:

•  Key Light
• Brightest light that lights up the subject the most

• Fill light
• Mid light that lights up the other side of the subject to reduce the shadow

• Back light
• Lowest light that lights up the back of the subjects and creates a halo effect

Tasks:

1. Basic MCU with 3 point lighting:

    We worked as a team to set up the lighting correctly

2. Replicating lighting from different films:

One person directed the rest of the team to recreate lighting from different films
