Description:

Lighting equipment and creative techniques from A to Z! This complete course in digital video and television lighting begins with how the human eye and the camera process light and color, progresses through the basics of equipment and setups, and culminates with practical lessons on how to solve common problems. You get clear illustrations and real-world examples that demonstrate proper equipment use, safety issues, and staging techniques. This new edition features a 16-page, four-color insert and new chapters on interview setups and lighting low-budget locations.

Enhance the visual quality of your work with a solid understanding of the fundamentals including how DV exposures differ from analog video or film. Work more efficiently with a comprehensive guide to the nuts and volts of the trade—everything from electrical connectors to the oddball pieces of "gaffer gear." Be resourceful with creative use of lighting controls such as flags, cookies, and scrims. Develop diagnostic and problem-solving skills with a special section that tackles typical problems in a way that helps you learn how to create your own workable field solutions.

Detailed diagrams, figures, and photos illustrate techniques that will enable novices to complete basic lighting setups reliably. Add a little natural talent and you will be able to create unique filmic lighting and dramatic imagery that adheres to the legal exposure standards for digital video with practices that include:

  • shooting in available light
  • color correction in mixed lighting situations
  • film-style lighting techniques that create realistic looks
  • specialized setups for blue screen, night shots, and product photography
  • lighting sets with fixed practical light sources
