Lighting an Interview with One Light


The purpose of the video is to give you a quick tip on how to work with limited equipment. Light setups for filming an interview can get very complex and include many light sources. Usually, the interview light setups consist of at least three lights – key light, which is your main light source, fill light (which fills up the shadows on the other side of the talent’s face), and a backlight, which creates a nice rim around the talent’s head and separates him or her from the background. Ideally, the background itself also gets separate lighting.
