Lighting Training

We spend some time in the editing suite as a group and learnt about how to create the best lighting to ensure we have no shadows around our artist. 




These are the lights we used for our training. As you can see, they are spaced apart and pointing at the white background, for our training we have decided to move them so they only focus on the artist. 














This is Emma and Richard arranging the lights to shine down on the artist. Before they did this, we had training about how to move the lights safely and how to change the brightness of them. 





Here, Emma and Richard are moving the lights so they are in a straight line so the light fixes on the top half of the artist. This was very important in our training as we don't want shadows around our artist and by learning to use the lights effectively, that won't happen. 






Once we got the lights at the right height and in the right place, we used a light enhancer to make the light jump off and make my face light up and not be soft against the white background. 









This is how the arranging of the lights and the light enhancer made me look. I have shadows around me, this is a problem as we didn't want shadows. As this is our first time using these lights, we won't make this mistake again and will move the lights around to get the image we want. Also, we will probably ask our technician to show us how to put the lights in the right place in order for us not to get a shadow unless we intend to. 


This is Emma using a still camera and being taught how to use it when in the editing suite. Emma was seeing how the lights were effecting the image and how we can change the settings on the camera, as well as the lights. 








This is Richard, he is learning how to use the video camera and get the settings right so we can film our video correctly. It is important that we all know how to use the video camera so we can all shoot some of our music video.







This is Romany, she is using the still camera and taking a picture of Richard and Emma learning how to use the lights effectively.
