Because I lacked the class, I learned a tutorial from youtube before we do first filming. There are 4 core lighting ideas:
- Available light
Before we setting any light, we should check what we have already had. After that, we can know what is available for us to use.
2. Motivated light
If the available light is not enough or not perfect for us to use, we need to add more light.
3. Hidden light
There is a classic situation. We know where the light gonna go. However, we can not put it there for some reasons. For example, the camera may see it.
4.experimental light
It is unnecessary for us to always make the light look nature and reality. It may make us lose some opportunities to be creative and get a better frame.
