Before the green screen test, I decided to research 'Three point lighting' as we will be using that for our project. I wanted to enhance my knowledge and understanding of the set up before we shoot so I could get it right first time, as well as finding out any key tips.
Key Light
This is the MAIN light. It is usually the strongest and
has the most influence on the look of the scene.
It is placed to one side of the camera/subject so that
this side is well lit and the other side has some shadow.

Fill Light
This is the secondary light and is placed on the
opposite side of the key light. It is used to fill
the shadows created by the key. The fill will
usually be softer and less bright than the key.
To acheive this, you could move the light further
away or use some spun. You might also want to
set the fill light to more of a flood than the key.

Back Light
The back light is placed behind the subject and
lights it from the rear. Rather than providing
direct lighting (like the key and fill), its purpose
is to provide DEFINITION and subtle highlights
around the subject's outlines. This helps separate
the subject from the background and provide a
three-dimensional look.
