Part of Lesson Plan: Three-Point Lighting System

Activity Overview / Details

At the end of the production process for the video assignment, students are asked to think about the next lesson – Using the Sun as your Key light.  Students are asked to think about  tomorrow’s discussion, “How is lighting for video different when shooting outside? How do we apply what we’ve learned about three-point lighting when filming outside?”

Teacher reviews the concept of when to use the three-point lighting system - primarily only when filming an Interview or 'talking head' type shot.

(Teacher will lead a class discussion about integrating the lighting system when shooting outdoors in daylight.  The Sun is the Key light, and a reflector screen used as a Fill source)
