bjbj [Music Playing] You guys asked for it and we re gonna give it to you a step by step
basic training on interview lighting. First, we re gonna take a look at how to set up the
lights in front of the subject; then, we re gonna take a look at how to set up the lights
behind the subject; and lastly, we re gonna look at getting your crew in place so you
re ready to film the interview. I m Tom Skowronski and this is interview lighting. [Music Playing]
Now, what we ve already learned from three point lighting is that we need a key light,
a fill light, and a back light. This time, we re gonna change it up and use two key lights.
What happens is when one spills over, it works as a fill light for the secondary subject
on our interview. So, let s go ahead and move our lights into position that are gonna be
in front of the subjects. [Music Playing] If you guys notice, we re about 45 degrees
from our camera here. This is gonna be our wide cam. This is camera one. We re gonna
have two more cameras and we re also gonna set up one more light to work as another key.
[Music Playing] The basic goal behind setting up the lights in a 45 degree scenario from
the camera is to create one key light on this subject and one key light from here hitting
this subject. When this happens, the lights tend to spill over and hit the other subjects
that are in their direct line of vision and work as a fill light. Now that we ve set up
the lights that are gonna be in front of our subjects, we need to set up the backlights
that are gonna be behind our subject. What this does is creates even more illumination
onto the set, making sure that everything is lit perfectly. Something we have to be
very careful with is the fact that our backlight may spill over into our camera s lens. We
do not want this to happen. We want any extra light that s spilling over to end up on our
subjects or on our set. Now, what we re going to do with these backlights is raise them
about a foot or so higher than the actual subjects and what this does is create that
even rim of light that we want and lets these lights spill over exactly where we need them
to go. [Music Playing] There s light number one. We can adjust them with the barn doors.
And let s go ahead and set up light number two. [Music Playing] What we re trying to
do here is replicate this graphic that you can see. Clearly, two lights in front, both
key lights, two lights in back, both back lights, and this will illuminate our scene
to the best of our abilities. Now, that we ve taken care of our first two steps, it s
time to bring in our talent and go ahead and shoot the interview. So, as we can see from
the graph, we know how to light our subjects. Let s introduce Joseph and Julie. They re
gonna interview each other while we set up our cameras. So, first we re gonna set up
a camera under the light and the reason we do this is so it doesn t spill over and the
light continues to stay and shine on our subject. [Music Playing] The idea here is to capture
Julie in this camera, just underneath the light, while camera one will be able to get
everybody so they can set the stage for the whole interview. Now, the reason this works
is because none of our lights are hitting the camera s point of view. They re only hitting
the subjects. The same scenario is gonna work for camera number three, which is gonna shoot
Joseph head on. This works so we can get our cutaways and, once, again, the light s directly
above about two feet or so, so the light never spills over into the camera lens. [Music Playing]
Utilizing these three simple steps, we cannot only use key lights and backlights, but we
can also create a multi-cam environment. This is the best scenario we could possibly utilize
for interview lighting. [Music Playing] [End of Audio] Interview Lighting Page PAGE of
