How To Light Videos Correctly with 3-Point Lighting

How can you have your subject lit properly for a shoot? Using a 3-point lighting kit will solve your lighting problem with ease. Position the three lights: key light, fill light, and back/hair light, in such a way that highlights the subject in the scene. The lights placement can be based on what you're filming and the mood you're portraying. In this clip from our video content course, we explain the 3-point lighting setup, how each light functions, and our suggestions for capturing the best light.
