Three Point Lighting

Three Point Lighting

For our first task of filming for film noir, my role is being in charge of lighting. As a beginner, I think it is important by learning the three point lighting as by using this basic technique of three point lighting will improve my video production’s quality immensely and a better understanding. There is noticeable difference in work that looks professional and work that doesn’t and big part of that is lighting.


Key Light -

This is the main light of the three and is placed to the side of the camera and that helps light the subject in the video.

Fill Light -
Secondary light and is always placed on the opposite side from the key light. Helping to fill shadows casted by the key light.

Back Light -
It is the light that is placed on the back of the subject you are shooting. It helps distinguish the subject from the background of the scene and give them a three-dimensional look on camera.
