LIGHTING

1
LIGHTING
2

• LAMP the bulb
• LIGHTING INSTRUMENT the fixture

3
HARD LIGHT

• Creates a sharp, distinct shadow.

4
SOFT LIGHT

• Creates an indistinct shadow.

5
HARD LIGHT

• SPOTLIGHT Produces a sharp, directional beam.

6
FRESNEL (fra-nel)

• A SPOT LIGHT COMMONLY USED ON STUDIO GRIDS.

7
SOFT LIGHT

• Flood Light Produces a diffused,
  nondirectional light that spreads over a wide
  area.

8
SCOOP

• A FLOOD LIGHT COMMONLYUSED ON STUDIO GRIDS.

9
BLOCK/SHAPE LIGHT

• Barn doors moveable metal flaps attached to a
  lighting instrument
• Flag a flat piece of metal that is placed in
  front of the instrument

10
DIFFUSION DEVICE

• A device used to soften the intensity of light
  without reducing its color temperature.

11
DIFFUSION DEVICES

• Umbrellas
• Reflectors
• Scrims

12
DIFFUSING LIGHT

• Use a diffusion device
• Bounce the light
• Move the instrument away from the subject
• Use a lower watt lamp
• Use a dimmer

13
3 POINT LIGHTING

• KEY The main source of illumination
• FILL Placed opposite the Key light
• BACK LIGHT Placed above behind the subject

14
KELVIN COLOR TEMPERATURE SCALE

• A scale developed by a scientist (William
  Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin) that measures color
  temperatures of light in degrees Kelvin (i.e.
  32K).

15
KELVIN COLOR TEMPERATURE SCALE

• 2000K Red
• 2500K Yellow
• 3200K White
• 4000K Green
• 5000K Blue
• 7000K Violet
• 10,000K Black

16
KELVIN COLOR TEMPERATURE SCALE

• 3200 degrees Kelvin equals White Light. In
  order to reproduce colors properly on TV the
  light hitting the object must be WHITE (32K).

17
WHITE BALANCE

• A function of video cameras that forces the
  camera to see an object as white no matter the
  type of light hitting the object.

18
GEL

• A plastic sheet that is placed in front of a
  lighting instrument to turn the white light from
  a lamp into a colored light.
