LIGHTING -
Lighting should be uniform from the top -
Essential points on lighting people
1. A key light should be provided at the upper left in
front of the person.
2. A weaker base light (spot) should be provided at the
upper right and balanced with the key light.
(Adjusting so that the left: right ratio is 2 : 1.5 by
moving the lights backwards and forwards.)
3. Use one more light behind the subject. This em-
phasizes the person's head and shoulders and
separates the subject from the background.
Caution: Do not place lighting equipment near the
Video Cameral Recorder as heat from the lighting
equipment can cause the Video Cameral Recorder to
malfunction.
