Lecture 7.

Lighting plays a very important role in flim-making. Let's face it, if there's no light you can't see anything so there won't be any movie.

The 3 point lighting system is the most basic and fundamental rule in lighting. The first light is called the Primary Light, the second Fill Light and Hair Light. These lights help to tell the story and make the character or scene look better. For example, bad lighting can make a character's face look flat and we don't want this.

Different types of lights that are common in the industry are:
* Redheads
* Totas
* Quartz lamps * HMI lamps
* Fresnel
* Ellipsol spots
* Broads
* Backgrounds
* Beam spot projectors
