  1. LIGHTING

  2. LAMP – the bulb • LIGHTING INSTRUMENT – the fixture

  3. HARD LIGHT Creates a sharp, distinct shadow.

  4. SOFT LIGHT Creates an indistinct shadow.

  5. HARD LIGHT SPOTLIGHT – Produces a sharp, directional beam.

  6. FRESNEL (fra-nel) • A SPOT LIGHT COMMONLY USED ON STUDIO GRIDS.

  7. SOFTLIGHT Flood Light – Produces a diffused, nondirectional light that spreads over a wide area.

  8. SCOOP • A FLOOD LIGHT COMMONLYUSED ON STUDIO GRIDS.

  9. BLOCK/SHAPE LIGHT • Barn doors – moveable metal flaps attached to a lighting instrument • Flag – a flat piece of metal that is placed in front of the instrument

  10. DIFFUSION DEVICE A device used to soften the intensity of light without reducing its color temperature.

  11. DIFFUSION DEVICES • Umbrellas • Reflectors • Scrims

  12. DIFFUSING LIGHT • Use a diffusion device • Bounce the light • Move the instrument away from the subject • Use a lower watt lamp • Use a dimmer

  13. 3 POINT LIGHTING • KEY – The main source of illumination • FILL – Placed opposite the Key light • BACK LIGHT – Placed above & behind the subject

  14. KELVIN COLOR TEMPERATURE SCALE A scale developed by a scientist (William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin) that measures color temperatures of light in degrees Kelvin (i.e.: 32K).

  15. KELVIN COLOR TEMPERATURE SCALE 2000K Red 2500K Yellow 3200K White 4000K Green 5000K Blue 7000K Violet 10,000K Black

  16. KELVIN COLOR TEMPERATURE SCALE 3200 degrees Kelvin equals White Light. In order to reproduce colors properly on TV the light hitting the object must be WHITE (32K).

  17. WHITE BALANCE A function of video cameras that forces the camera to see an object as white no matter the type of light hitting the object.

  18. GEL A plastic sheet that is placed in front of a lighting instrument to turn the white light from a lamp into a colored light.

  19. PRACTICAL LIGHT • A lighting instrument that is also used as a prop in the scene. • Example: a table lamp.
