This is a brief excerpt from NextWaveDV
I remember when HDSLRs first came out. While the shallow DOF was great, it was their light efficiency that really seemed to change the way we approached video. You could now work in low light and natural light conditions like never before. Awesome! But this soon led some to the mentality that you no longer needed to light. Just flip on the lights of a room and start shooting, right? Well, not quite.
So this brought on the re-educating of a generation of film novices to understand the necessity of lighting and how much of a difference it makes. You see, lighting and music are perhaps the two most important and nearly subliminal tools in film to tell the audience how to feel. But more than that, without proper lighting, a film wouldn’t look like a film.
Before we continue, it’s important to note that lighting in film serves three primary and equally necessary roles:
Create a proper exposure for the medium being used (film or digital sensors).
Create depth and the illusion of three dimensions in a two dimensional medium.
Create a tone and mood for the scene.
Too many people think of lighting as the first …
