Lighting Workshop

This Workshop is designed for the beginner filmmaker or small business looking to enhance the quality of videos used online or for marketing purposes. Along with basic hands-on instruction, students will be demonstrated some of the tools that are used to create visual styles that support the subject of the project.

The workshop will cover selecting your shooting space, how to light the subject to enhance the topic, setting up the camera, and adjusting throughout the interview for the edit. After discussions and demonstrations students will work, hands-on, on creating their own set ups during the class time.

Discussion topics will include how to build your own Lighting package, creative gaffing techniques, using available light sources, and where to put lights to get the best possible look.

Discussion will cover:

• Breakdown of different types of light
• Hard Light / Soft light / Bounced Light
• Three point lighting
• Using practical sources
• Color
• Temperature / Gels / Diffusion
• Lighting for depth / separation
• Basic film set language
• Set / Location Safety
