Planning and lighting the set

We went about plaining the lighting by placing the set in the studio and using five people around it to represent our four guests and host. We discovered that the best way to light the set and our host/guests was to use 3 point lighting.

3 point lighting is when you have a key light that tends to be a powerful spot light (tungsten light) aimed at your subject, this creates a shodow down one side to counter this you have fill light facing the other side of the subject (cool lights). After you lit the subject add another spot light (tungsten light) behind the subject to bring the subject out from the background, this sometimes creates a halo effect on the top of their heads if the subject is a person, however this fine because brings them out from background which looks better on camera.
