Study Notes
Introduction to Lighting Techniques for TV
- Module focuses on fundamental lighting and technology for television.
- Designed for beginners executing existing lighting designs.
Lighting Techniques - Artistic vs. Technical
- Available light can provide a technically acceptable image and mood.
- Technical considerations ensure minimum lighting for camera functionality, known as Base Light.
- Insufficient base light leads to video noise, particularly in darker areas.
- Artistic lighting enhances specific shot areas and simulates depth.
Basic Lighting Triangle
- Back light, or rim light, separates subjects from the background, enhancing depth perception.
- Normal lighting design places back, fill, and key lights strategically for optimal effect.
- Key, fill, and back light ratios typically follow 1:1:1/2 (e.g., 500 f.c. for key and back light, 250 f.c. for fill).
Lighting Instruments and Accessories
- Spotlights and fill lights commonly suspended in studios are impractical for outdoor use.
- Electronic Field Production (EFP) utilizes portable lighting packages for efficiency.
- Portable lighting can be adjusted for directionality and includes diffusers like softboxes.
- Television lighting generally prefers diffused light to minimize shadows compared to film and theater.
Importance of Diffused Light
- Diffused light is crucial for environments like news settings and interviews, contributing to a softer look.
- Effective use of diffusers enhances the overall quality of lighting in TV productions.
