Lighting Source and Angle Goal is to create 3 dimensional look The camera has a limited contrast range Overhead and back light sources don’t
work by themselves Front light can lack depth Side light is a good choice if you only have
one source of light
![Page 13: Lighting “The art of cinematography is the art of lighting and making that light tell the story.” -Stephen H. Burum, ASC (Apocalypse Now, Carlito's Way,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f385503460f94c54a3f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Lighting Source and Angle Traditional 3 point lighting
High main light (key)
side light (fill)
Back light (hair)
![Page 14: Lighting “The art of cinematography is the art of lighting and making that light tell the story.” -Stephen H. Burum, ASC (Apocalypse Now, Carlito's Way,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f385503460f94c54a3f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Key Light
Your Key Light represents the dominant light source, such as the sun, a window etc.
The Key Light is the subject’s main illumination. It defines the most visible light and shadows.
Offset 15–45 degrees above and from the side of the camera.
![Page 15: Lighting “The art of cinematography is the art of lighting and making that light tell the story.” -Stephen H. Burum, ASC (Apocalypse Now, Carlito's Way,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f385503460f94c54a3f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Fill Light(s)
Next add your Fill Light(s).
The Fill Light softens and extends the key and makes more of the subject visible.
A common Key : Fill ratio is 3:1
![Page 16: Lighting “The art of cinematography is the art of lighting and making that light tell the story.” -Stephen H. Burum, ASC (Apocalypse Now, Carlito's Way,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f385503460f94c54a3f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Back Light or “Rim” Light
The Back Light creates a "defining edge"
Helps visually separate the subject from the background.

3 Point Lighting
3-Point Lighting is a versatile and popular starting-point for lighting.
Be creative and have fun!
![Page 18: Lighting “The art of cinematography is the art of lighting and making that light tell the story.” -Stephen H. Burum, ASC (Apocalypse Now, Carlito's Way,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f385503460f94c54a3f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Use What You Have The SUN!!
Most powerful and common source of light.
Beware of heavy shadows when the sun is high in the sky (noon). Best times for filming outdoors is early morning or late afternoon.
![Page 19: Lighting “The art of cinematography is the art of lighting and making that light tell the story.” -Stephen H. Burum, ASC (Apocalypse Now, Carlito's Way,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f385503460f94c54a3f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Improvising with Light Bouncing light
Reflect, diffuse and redirect light
Creates softer, more even lighting
Examples: Bounce Card (white poster board), wall/ceiling, shiny surface
![Page 20: Lighting “The art of cinematography is the art of lighting and making that light tell the story.” -Stephen H. Burum, ASC (Apocalypse Now, Carlito's Way,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f385503460f94c54a3f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Adding Color to Light Gels – colored, transparent sheet placed in front of
light source as a filter to color illumination Correct poor lighting condition Cast a hue over scene
for a dramatic effect
![Page 21: Lighting “The art of cinematography is the art of lighting and making that light tell the story.” -Stephen H. Burum, ASC (Apocalypse Now, Carlito's Way,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f385503460f94c54a3f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Other Lighting? Background lighting
Adds further depth between actors and background.
Draw attention to something in the background – where is the impact of scene?

Basic Types of Lights
Focusing Quartz
Broad
Softlight
![Page 23: Lighting “The art of cinematography is the art of lighting and making that light tell the story.” -Stephen H. Burum, ASC (Apocalypse Now, Carlito's Way,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f385503460f94c54a3f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Focusing Quartz
Focus ranges from “spot” to “flood”
Put out a HARD/DIRECT light and often needs to be diffused or bounced.
Outfitted with BARN DOORS
![Page 24: Lighting “The art of cinematography is the art of lighting and making that light tell the story.” -Stephen H. Burum, ASC (Apocalypse Now, Carlito's Way,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f385503460f94c54a3f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Broads
Not able of focus
Supply a flat even pattern of light
The HARD/DIRECT pattern must also be diffused or bounced.
![Page 25: Lighting “The art of cinematography is the art of lighting and making that light tell the story.” -Stephen H. Burum, ASC (Apocalypse Now, Carlito's Way,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f385503460f94c54a3f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Soft light
A Soft light is a permanent portable bounce light.
It’s light bounces off a curved inner surface and out toward the subject.
![Page 26: Lighting “The art of cinematography is the art of lighting and making that light tell the story.” -Stephen H. Burum, ASC (Apocalypse Now, Carlito's Way,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f385503460f94c54a3f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Tips for FVP 12 Look for well lit areas in the school. Look for creative ways to use natural light from the windows. Be aware of the camera exposure settings to best control the
available lighting. Don’t try and use extra lighting for every shot but try it at some
point in the video. Try not to MIX many different light sources. Have your actor wear clothes that contrast the main settings
that your video takes place. Guidelines are NOT rules…but they are “time tested” and worth
a look. Be creative and have fun.
