Lighting is the most crucial element in filmmaking. The most common lighting technique is three-point lighting in cinematography and video production. Everything that’s captured by the camera sensor is light information. The quality of the image captured is all determined by lighting. In this video, we will cover the three-point lighting technique and preview how to build on this fundamental technique to create more complex lighting setups.
