LIGHTING FOR INDOOR
SHOOTING
Lightirig—For the sharpest pictores; you:
need the bast light:
2
For the most brilliant color in your scenes, a
sufficient light level must be maintained. If
shooting Is done Indoors or under other
circumstances where light is insufficient, lights
must be used for best results.
What kind of light is best?
Choosing the right lights
Photography lamps or halogen lamps are
recommended. For best results, use of the Sony
video lights are recommended as their weight
and low heat output levels allow safe, direct
connection to the camera.
For lighting of a wide area for easy use—
reflector flood light
To emphasize the subject—
use a reflector spotlight.
Lighting the subject -
The number of lights and their angle to the
subject can make a significant difference in
lighting effectiveness.
With a single light:
Locate it above and to one side of the
subject. With just one light, contrast Is
unavoidably enhanced.
To eliminate shadows, another light should be
added.
With two lights:
Locate one light above and to one side of the
subject, and the second to the side of the
subject in such a position that the shadows
are eliminated.
if contrast is too strong when lights are used,
point a light at the ceiling or reflect it off a sheet
of white paper to add soft filHn light.
