In order to create a good lighting scheme, you need to consider several factors such as:
- Your budget. This will determine what type of lights you are able to buy. For example, if you have limited funds, then it would be better for you to buy cheap lights instead of expensive ones.
- The environment. The location or area where you want to shoot your video should also be taken into consideration when choosing your lighting equipment. For example, if you are shooting in an open field, then it would be best for you to use natural light sources such as sunlight or moonlight instead of artificial light sources such as lamps or spotlights because these sources are not suitable for shooting videos outdoors in nature (Chen).
- Your style and preference. This factor refers to how professional or non-professional your video will be depending on whether it will be shot using professional equipment such as DSLR cameras with sophisticated lenses or smartphones with basic cameras that do not have much quality in them (Chen).
So the next time you’re planning a video or photo shoot, don’t forget about the lighting. Make sure to consult with your director of photography beforehand and explore your options, so that you can get cinematic lighting with the best results.
