The lecture covered lighting techniques like 3-point lighting, hard/soft lighting, artificial/natural lighting and what equipment to use to create set ups of lighting. Point that were made were the importance of lighting in cinematography, themes and moods that can be conveyed through lighting  and the importance of exposure levels.

The content was very relevant to our project since we planned to use lighting equipment but the hands on practise in class was a lot more helpful in my opinion. We got to set up lights and play around with different lights such as redheads, dedos and Blondie’s. We learnt to bounce lights off white card board or white walls if they were available which became the most important thing in our shoot to create a softer light. In class we also got to practise creating ‘daylight’ in a dark room was very important to our shoot since we ran over time and had to shoot a morning scene at night.
