Planning and Lighting a Set

We went about planning the lighting by placing the set in the studio, using five people around it to represent the host and our four quests, we found out the best possible way to light the set and our talent and host was to use 3 point lighting.

3 point lighting is when you have a key light that to tends to be a powerful spot light also known as a tungsten light that is aimed at the subject, which creates a foreground shadow down one side to counter this you will have fill light the other side of the person by using cool lights. After you lit the subject, place tungsten light behind the subject to bring them out from the background just in case the person comprehends or mixes into the set, this sometimes creates a halo effect on the top of their heads if the subject is person, however this fine because it brings them out from the surroundings which looks better when viewed upon camera.
