LO2: Different Lighting Settings[✓]

Here I have started testing out different types of lighting setting, by placing the same object down on a chair and seeing how is captured with the light.



Here I am using three-point lighting to demonstrate the light toward the chair and also the object which is on the chair. I have set up three light two each side of the camera, which was a Canon DSLR, and one behind the camera.
This lighting technique allowed me to have three lights set up to be able to focus in one object. It helps create shadow and focus upon the object, which would make it a good choice for interviews and capturing drama within a shot.



For this I have used soft box lighting to see how it worked when capturing the focus of an object. Soft box lighting is often used when taking pictures of objects. Which made me become interested in how it worked for recording, as I was aware I would be possibly filming interviews.
The effects were able to create shadow as well, but there was a clear difference in the lighting this is known because the colour is noted as brighter as the yellow tone stood out much more on the soft box.



Here I have set up the same object but this time using ambient light, this involved letting in the lighting from outside, and using natural day light. This option was slightly grainy because it was not as close to the point of light as the other two. However, it is a good option when outside and the weather is a of a good condition.
