Writing With Light
In production, the right lighting is always important. In my Advanced TV Production class we worked with lighting and the different aspects of lighting in video. The subject used for my examples is my classmate Jaylaan Riley
Key Light
This type of light is the primary light during an interview.
Positioned behind the interviewer's shoulder, it is placed
opposite to the camera. The job for this light is to
illuminate the subject's face.
Back/Hair Light
This type of light illuminates the space behind the subject's
head so that the subject stands out of the background. Bring
extra attention to the subject and puts spotlight on them.
Side/Fill Light
The side/fill light is to fill in the shadows created by the key
light. Its purpose is to make sure that the light is even across
the subject's face.
