Lighting design



There are three point lighting: Key, Fill and Back lights.

The Key light is the main source of light and is key to the whole set up. It is placed at a 45 degree angle which means that there will be a slight shadow across the subject.



Fill light is another mentioned in the extract. This is used on the opposite side to the Key light to fill in the shadow cast by the Key light.


The third point of lighting is called Back light. This is placed behind the subject at a low intensity to make the subject stand out more from the back ground.
