Lighting

Lighting

Shape visibility, mood, texture and attention with light.

The role

Lighting is both expressive and practical. We cover natural and artificial sources, direction, quality, colour temperature, exposure, modifiers, power and safe rigging principles.

Core skills

  • Key, fill and backlight
  • Hard, soft and motivated light
  • Colour temperature and practicals
  • Fixtures, stands, modifiers and safety

Suggested practical workshop

Light the same subject for drama, comedy and documentary interviews.

This is a proposed workshop idea. Dates, availability and participation arrangements will be announced when confirmed.
