Video lighting and lighting skills

What are the lighting skills for film and television lighting? In response to this problem, I believe that some photographers don’t know much about it, so I will briefly explain it to you, I hope it will be helpful to you, so I won’t say much, just take a look.

1. Key light: The larger the angle between the key light and the camera, the stronger the volume of the subject will be, and the higher the visual effect will be, so when designing the key light, we must consider what we want. The visual effect and the height of the lighting also need our attention. Lighting from below will look a bit scary and unnatural, but if we place it at a 45-degree angle above the subject, it will look beautiful and have a sense of shape. will become strong.

Under normal circumstances, the key light is usually soft, so that it can play a role in polishing. If the effect is not enough, we can also rely on other light sources to help, so that the effect of the subject will become better.


2. Filling light: Usually, we will put the auxiliary light in a place that is complementary to the main light position. When debugging, the main light and the auxiliary light should be balanced, so that the visual effect will be better, and it can also be kept. down the shade we need.

3. Contour light: The contour light comes in and is placed away from the subject, try not to appear in the lens, especially when the subject has a dark color, it is easy to mix with the main light, which will greatly affect our visual effect, of course , We should also pay attention to the intensity. The lower the intensity, the more natural it will look. Otherwise, the layering will be too strong, and the subject will look strange.


4. Background light: The background light is used to illuminate the background. With it, the background and the subject will be coordinated. Of course, the background light cannot be adjusted too brightly, otherwise it will attract our vision and reduce the The existence of the subject is a bit of a loss, but if there is no background light, it will always make people feel that something is missing and it does not look so perfect.

Of course, because different subjects have different textures, the intensity required for lighting is also very different. When we choose, we must make corresponding explorations according to different subjects. Only in this way can we create a good shape. , the pursuit of good visual effects, in order to present a perfect work.

Therefore, the quantity, position, color, brightness, attenuation, shadow and softness of the lights all need to be adjusted by us. Only in this way can we make good movies. Therefore, we must not feel Lighting and lighting skills are a simple matter. After all, lighting plays an important role in film and television production. I wonder if everyone has learned it?
