good morning welcome to today's video
and welcome to another edition of wisdom
2
00:00:05,130 --> 00:00:11,580
Wednesday today I'm going to be talking
to you about lighting but first roll the intro
3
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,820
lighting is one of the most important
aspects of videography be that studio
4
00:00:29,830 --> 00:00:34,360
lights indoor lights outdoor light
natural lights I'm talking about
5
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:39,220
lighting as a whole and if you can get
your setup locked down you'll take your
6
00:00:39,220 --> 00:00:43,420
videos to the next level if you don't
have access to studio lights natural
7
00:00:43,420 --> 00:00:48,790
light is your best friend so yourself up
next to a window like this so this is a
8
00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:53,080
great example of good window light as
you can see on my left hand side I've
9
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,950
got a nice soft light coming in through
the window meaning that the shadows
10
00:00:56,950 --> 00:01:01,899
aren't too harsh on this side either so
you can see me clearly and focus on what
11
00:01:01,899 --> 00:01:05,680
I've got to say however if I set up on
the opposite side of the room you'll see
12
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,149
that this is a completely different
story so I've now set the camera up on
13
00:01:10,149 --> 00:01:14,860
the opposite side of the room and as you
can see the light loss is significant
14
00:01:14,860 --> 00:01:17,979
and therefore the image quality when I
come to edit this is not going to be as
15
00:01:17,979 --> 00:01:22,330
good it's the same room with the same
lighting but a completely different
16
00:01:22,330 --> 00:01:26,860
image what you definitely want to avoid
is having your subject backlit otherwise
17
00:01:26,860 --> 00:01:30,280
they'll become silhouetted and your
audience will find it hard to engage
18
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,840
with what they have to say so as you can
see it makes a massive difference where
19
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,399
you set up within a room just by being
close to the window opposed to being in
20
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,990
the corner or facing away from the
window bring so much more quality to
21
00:01:43,990 --> 00:01:47,560
your video content I'm the same theory
applies whether you're using studio
22
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,160
lights or you're using the available
lights that you have in your room the
23
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,509
difference is substantial so if you want
to learn more about lighting in the
24
00:01:55,509 --> 00:01:59,380
coming weeks I'll be doing a video on
studio lighting and I'll also be doing a
25
00:01:59,380 --> 00:02:03,400
video on DIY lighting setups that's it
for this week's wisdom Wednesday
26
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,780
I'll see you in the next video
