The images and information below discuss our experience using the 3 point lighting techniques. During this exercise we experiment what each light is like without the use of another e.g.
- just the key light on
- just the fill light on
- just the back light on
- all of the lights on
- back light and key light
- key light and fill light
- back light and fill light
The image above shows what a shot would be like if just the Fill light was on. The fill light is placed on the right hand side at a 45 degree angle from the object. With just the Fill light on, it creates a shadow along the back of the object and the left hand side of the object (from POV).
The image above shows what a shot would look like with just the key light on. The key light is placed on the left hand side at a 45 degree angle from the object. With just the key light on, it creates a shadow along the right hand side and the back of the object (from POV). Although the key light is also placed at a 45 degree angle, it is placed further back than the fill light. This is to create definition to the face and shoulders.
The image above shows what a shot would be like if just the back light and key light was turned on. This creates a shadow on the right hand side of the subject (from POV). This defines the left hand side of head and shoulders on the subject.
The image above shows what a shot would be like if the key and fill light was turned on. This creates a shadow behind the subject and makes the picture seem really dark. It makes the subject blend in with the background so it is hard to focus on the main part of the subject (the face).
The image above shows what a shot would be like with all of the lights turned on. Shadows are created in all of the wrong places and your main focus is on what is happening in the background not on the actual subject where all the focus is meant to be on.
