LIGHT SETTINGS

FEW TIPS

• Bad lighting is like talking to people with your sunglasses on – it doesn’t create a good connection.
• Good lighting is critical to ensure great eye contact through the camera lens with your viewers.
• Basic 3-point lighting is a big soft light on one side, a smaller one on the other side, and a back light.
• The purpose of a back light is to separate the talent from the background, so you don’t look glued to the backdrop!
• You can also include a bonus floor light — called a “diva light” — to create extra fill (nice and flattering for lighting up us women!)
• Extra diffusion on the lights makes the lights look nice and pearly.
