LIGHTING
LIGHTING
A second light called fill light ,is used to “fill in” the strong
shadows caused by the key light. Usually the fill light is quit
a bit dimmer and more diffuse than the key light.
The third light called the back light or sometimes the kicker,is
positioned behind the subject and is used to sepratefrom the
background.the sepration lends a sense of depth to the
image your subject “stand out”beter.
The key lights are the brightest and the most
important lights on the set. The key light
determines the overall recording or exposure level.
It,s positioned 30 to 45 degrees to the side of the
camera and should strike the subject at an angle of
about 45 degrees from vertical.the key light is
focused on the subject by putting the in the “full
spot” position and centering the beam on the
subject.
Fill light is used to provide general illumination on
the set and to fill in the shadows created by the key
lights. Fill light is usually softer than key light. It is
frequently diffused by reflectors or translucent
materials placed in front of the lighting instrument.
Fill light is added on the side of the camera
opposite the key light. Fill light are also frequently
scrammed to soften them and reduce their
intensity.
The back light is placed directly behind the subject,
in line with the camera. It, too, is set at a 45 degree
angle from vertical It is usually a high contrast and
often look very atmospheric & dramatic. The back
light is still too bright in the full flood position, a
scrim can be fitted in front of the housing to soften
and reduce the light.

In the design of an artificial environment in
which lighting instrument are used,it is
sometimes desirable to manipulate the
shapes of the light which cast over a space or
a object. To so a piece of material with
patterned holes through which light passes is
placed in a beam of light to allow only the
desired shapes or pattern, through while
blocking the rest of the light,casting a
specific shadow in to space.
Gels are flexible sheets of
transparent colored plastic
that can act as color filters
when they are placed in
front of light source such
as windows or lamps.
