How to Create Suspense with LightingStay tuned to the end for a chance to win a prize!
Lighting for nighttime exteriors is one of the most common challenges you’ll face in cinematography. How you choose to motivate lighting, whether from the moon, from street lights, or from something else altogether, will significantly change the feeling of a scene. In horror films, there is more flexibility in the lighting because the goal is to be as immersive as possible. Today, director of photography Jon Salmon walks us through how to shoot a night exterior horror scene. In the scene, he uses shadows and motivated lighting to create tension.
In this video, Jon shows us the steps he takes when shooting a night exterior horror scene.
First, he places lights that are motivated from practical sources in the location. For this location the lighting was done to enhance the moonlight and the lights coming from the pool. Next, he pushed in on the first shot to get a close-up of the character’s reaction. This was he was also about to see the imperfections of the lighting from the wide. Lastly, he moved the camera around for the reverse POV of the character, to see the monster in the water. This was done with minimal lighting to create mystery around the monster.
The main techniques we will be discussing today are using shadows, using fog to obscure the background, and using foreground elements. Using shadow is important in horror because it is an easy way to obscure characters and other details. This allows the audience to fill in the rest with their imagination. Using fog is another good way to obscure information in the background by making the scene hazy. This movement of the fog can also add a creepy feeling to a location. Foreground elements are anything that between the camera and the subject, such as a wall, rocks, or a bush. Having these elements in the frame can make it feel like the character is being watched.
Horror is one of the most exciting genres in film because it allows you to play into the audience’s perceptions. The lighting in horror can be much more stylized which gives you more artistic expression. No matter how you light it, the essence of horror is the same, and that is making your audience as tense as possible using only picture and sound. As filmmakers this is one of the most exciting challenges we face. There are limitless was to use lighting to help tell your horror story, it’s up to you to find the best one.

How To Light A Green Screen with 2 Lights
Aging with Light | Advanced Cinematography TechniquesStay tuned to the end for a chance to win a prize!
Lighting people’s faces is one of the most common things you will encounter in cinematography.
Everyone has a different face, and different faces require different lighting. Finding the best way to light a face in a way that makes it look great while fitting with the character can be a real challenge. Today, director of photography Jon Salmon teaches us three different ways of aging people up and down with lighting. By using various lighting techniques you can show off or cover up parts of the face to manipulate an actor’s age.
In this video, Jon shows us three different methods for aging with lighting. In our first setup, we compose a lighting setup that creates shadows on the subject’s face to emphasize their age. In our second setup, we light a scene using techniques that bring out any subject’s facial imperfections, while still emphasizing a flattering look. In the third and last setup, we use techniques that cover up imperfections on the subject’s face, in order to make them look younger than they actually are.
The main techniques that we will be discussing today are far top lighting, wrapping the key, and using lighting like make-up. Top lighting is when the light is placed directly above the subject, which can cast long shadows on the face. Wrapping the key is when you use two or more lights close together to create a quality of light that looks like it came from one bigger light source. Using lighting like make-up is when you point a light at anything on the face that you want to cover up.
Odds are, your next film is going to have a face in it that you will have to light. Determining the best way to light your talent to make them look appropriate for their character will ensure that your film is as good as it can be. Lighting can add a lot to your character, so make specific choices on how you light them to make the character jump off the screen.

Cinematic Lighting 101 | How to Light FacesStay tuned to the end for a chance to win a prize!
The ability to light people's faces is one of the fundamentals skills needed in cinematography. Unless you have shot animals or inanimate objects your entire life, at one point or another, you'll have to understand how to light a human face cinematically. Each story and person will require slightly different lighting to achieve the desired effect. So understanding how to accomplish some fundamental methods for lighting faces will put you on the path to becoming a better cinematographer. Today, director of photography William Hellmuth teaches us 3 different ways to light a face, in both flattering and unflattering ways, to achieve different effects.
In this video, William shows us three different methods for lighting and shaping an actor's face. In our first setup, he mimics the sun, which is motivated by the window that the two actors are sitting next to, using a far side key to create more cinematic depth. In our second setup, William tackles the conventional wisdom that both near side key lighting and lighting from below inherently produce unflattering results, by using both of them together, with a practical lamp as the motivation. In the third and last setup, we are using the new Aputure Spotlight Mount to show off the different effects created when using hard top light versus soft top light.
The main techniques that we will be discussing today are far side key lighting, near side and bottom lighting, and top lighting. Far side key is when the key light is lighting the side of the talent's face facing away from the camera. This is a common method used for creating cinematic depth. Near side, lighting is not typically associated with dramatic visuals, but rather beauty lighting, duet it's lack of shadows. Bottom lighting or underlighting is however associated with unnatural or scary visuals, due to shadows being cast in the opposite direction that we're used to seeing them. Top lighting is the act of lighting subjects from above and can have very different effects depending on whether the top light is an obvious hard source, or a subtle, sourceless ambient glow.
Ultimately, as most filmmakers try to tell human stories, learning how to light human faces is very important. Different lighting styles and directions will create different feelings and emotions. It is also important to be able to embrace different sources or motivations for your key lights, as they might lead you to lighting designs that you would never have thought of. There is almost always a way to make the light falling on someone's face more flattering, and now you know how to do that. But it is also essential to be able to embrace the type of lighting that will complement the talent's face and best tell the story.

Beauty Lighting 101 | 3 Commercial Lighting TechniquesStay tuned to the end for a chance to win a prize!
When shooting beauty commercials you will have to light a variety of different skin tones and utilize a variety of different styles. By learning the fundamentals of beauty lighting, you'll be able to create flattering light on anyone's face. Director and DP Valentina Vee shows us how to light for beauty for 3 different styles and skin tones.
Lighting for beauty commercials encapsulates a variety of different scenarios, and the key is to match the style of your visuals to the desires of the client. You can create everything from creating a bright, high-key look to highlight skin tones, to a cinematic, low-key style, that accentuates your talent's features. Beauty lighting can require intricate lighting designs, allowing you to express your inner creativity, while also giving you the opportunity to please your clients.
In this video, Valentina discusses the importance of soft light and tailoring your style to your client's needs, while also acknowledging, that you can still achieve beautifully cinematic results without soft light. The commercial look requires the softest, and brightest lighting design, while the 80s vintage look utilizes a warmer, hazier quality. Lastly, the avant-garde look throws caution to the wind and incorporates hard light, slashes, and intense color contrast to create cinematic imagery.
By mastering beauty lighting you'll be able to create stunning portraits and commercials, that highlight both the talent's and the client's desired features. These techniques don't only apply to commercial cinematography, but also grant you the ability to light faces of any kind. The skills learned from beauty lighting are linked to being able to tailor the look and style of the lighting to the needs of the story.

The Light in your EyeIn the world of photography, it is well-known the impact the reflection in the eye can have on the image: some call it a catch-light or a sparkle in the eye. In filmmaking, we can greatly enhance the visual appeal by creating reflections in the eyes.
Reflections in the eyes can be the result of the lighting on the face, or, the eyes can be independently lit with lights used to create specific reflections. These reflections can be achieved in different shapes, with attention to the positioning of the reflection within the eyes. Reflections can also be created in different colours. The result achieved is dependent on the type of lights used, the positioning of these lights, and also the curvature on the eye of the subject. Different eye shapes and the colour of the eyes will result in differences with the reflections.
For cinematographers, we can achieve beautiful results and greatly enhance the image by working with the reflections in the eye. This is a deep subject, which *The Light in your Eye* only touches on. The purpose of this film is to inspire those who shoot and light, to spend a little time to look at the reflections in the eye, and how this can be used to effect - and also to provide some insight into how these reflections can be created, controlled and shaped.
*The Light in your Eye* shows many different examples of reflections in the eyes, the effort which has gone into creating the results and the equipment used in the lighting process.
Shutter speed, Aperture and ISO: What do these mean and how do cameras work?Every camera has a just three basic options: shutter speed, aperture and ISO. This is how they work.

Lighting 101: Direction of LightThis is our second installment of our Lighting 101 series, where Lauren demonstrates seven standard lighting angles you should know when lighting a character for a scene.
It's not just about where you point your light-- the angle of your lighting determines where the light falls, and therefore the kind of shadows it creates. These two effects together can have a huge impact on your audience.
Have more questions? Ask Lauren directly in our forums!
http://j.mp/Lighting101DirectionDiscuss
For those interested, the light we used was a Litepanel 1x1 Astra Soft Bicolor.

Laws of Light: SphereHi, this is Jay P. Morgan. Today on The Slanted Lens we’re starting a series called “The Laws of Light.” These principles were taught to me at Art Center College of Design by Charlie Potts, who was the head of the photo department there. I was taught these principles, I’ve been building on them for 25 years, and I’m now going to pass them on to you. These truly are the laws of light, the things that happen every time you turn on a light. You can’t change them. You can’t make them go away. But you can control them and use them to your advantage.
Keep those cameras rollin' and keep on clickin'.

Lighting Tutorial Including 3 point lighting and moreLighting is the most important element in cinematography. It is the task to which the cinematographer gives their primary attention. It is the light that shapes the reality in front of the lens, giving it depth or flatness, excitement or boredom, reality or artificiality. Cinematography attempts to create and sustain a mood captured on the screen. In this respect, lighting is at the heart of cinematography.
Creating Shafts of Light for Photo and VideoHi, this is Jay P. Morgan. Today on The Slanted Lens, we're going to show you how to create shafts of light both for still images and for film. I love the look of light streaming into a room for video as well as photos. There are four principles that come into play when you're creating shafts of light in camera. You'll need light and atmosphere. My favorite thing to use for atmosphere is a fog or smoke machine from Rosco (http://www.rosco.com).

This video tutorial outlines how "lighting on the upstage side of the camera" - meaning the side away from the camera - can help add depth and dimension to your images. You can achieve this look with minimal lights and minimal cost. This is a great technique for indie filmmakers who are looking to add production value to their films or documentaries without spending a lot of money on lighting kits.

Cinematography Tutorial: Using Flags to Control Shadow and LightMore lighting tutorials on our blog at: http://www.lightsfilmschool.com/blog/
Cinematography Tutorial: Flags are pieces of black duvetyne held together by metal frames. Flags are generally held up by c-stands in an effort to cut or shape light and provide "negative fill".
It's important to mention that when using c-stands you should first position your flag exactly as you want it with the c-stand joints loose. Then when your flag is ready, tighten the c-stand joints in order to secure the precise position of the flag. This will not only help you precisely establish where your shadows will fall, but it will also save you a lot of time during your setup.
Many independent filmmakers rather than using black fabric flags and c-stands, will instead use tripods, clamps and black foam core. A large piece of black foam core can be purchased from an art supply store for around $10-$15 and it will have essentially the same impact. In fact, virtually any opaque object can be used to flag light.... continue reading on our blog.

SMAPP Tutorial - Basic Interview Lightingwe are one week closer to the launch of SMAPP and as our update of the week we wanted to share a tutorial on interview lighting. <br />
<br />
there are so many different ways you can light an interview and while story is always important, interviews more than anything else often come with the constraints of time, space, and gear. traveling for A Game of Honor we had to be able to light an interview with whatever we could fit into one 70lb suitcase (which inspired a whole separate tutorial on what's in that suitcase). if you've done your share of interviews, you'll be all too familiar with showing up and having a room that would be a tight fit just to hold all of your gear, let alone setup and interview in it. with almost every interview we feel like we could use one more stinger, one more light, an extra five minutes to tweak the setup, or an extra 5' feet to reposition the talent and camera. however, through working within these constraints we can learn to do much more with much less. half the tricks we know about lighting have all come from having to figure something out while on set, and having to do so quickly. the more we understand light, how it works and how we can work with it, the more we can make the most of whatever time, gear, and space we might find ourselves in.<br />
<br />
we hope you enjoy our first lighting tutorial on basic interview lighting. our next lighting tutorial we will be sharing shortly will show how we light the same scene three different ways to create different moods.<br />
<br />

SMAPP Tutorial - Deconstructing Lighting A Scenea few weeks ago we released a tutorial on basic interview lighting and how you can quickly achieve the look you want with just a few lights and modifiers. once you're comfortable with the basics we invite you to continue to push your story through light. you can say so much through your lighting so this week's tutorial will take it up a notch as we deconstruct how we lit multiple scenes differently based on story, all of which was shot in the exact same location. we'll take a look at how each scene was lit and why it was lit a certain way. armed with 5 lights and the same set of modifiers, you will see how and why using different modifiers and techniques can say change the way the viewer experiences the scene.<br />
<br />
so the next time you walk into a room or staged set, start thinking about what you want your scene to say, how that ties into the story you're trying to tell and how you plan on achieving that through lighting.<br />

Kodak Master Class Series: Lighting Dances with WolvesKodak Master Class Series: Lighting Dances with Wolves
This unique series, sponsored by the Kodak Worldwide Student Program, features nine of the world's finest cinematographers sharing their wealth of experience in a workshop setting, as they guide you through a series of professional lighting problems both in the studio and on location. 3-D computer animations are used to vividly illustrate solutions.
Dean Semler (Road Warrior, City Slickers, Dead Calm) demonstrates the techniques that won him an Academy Award for the cinematography of Dances With Wolves. Dean's background in documentary films is a major influence on his visuals. This workshop recreates the lighting of an interior fireside scene from Wolves, using an exact replica of the teepee set. The workshop footage was shot anamorphical, using a Panavision camera and a crane.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS: Dean discusses and demonstrates: wide screen composition, relationship between lighting design and coverage and the best use of high speed film stocks in low light situations.
Film Lighting Tutorial: Qualities of LightThe understanding of light is the most fundamental skill in cinematography. In this 3 minute film lighting tutorial video, watch and learn about the two basic types of light used in filmmaking and photography; hard and soft. Hard light creates a sharp solid shadow; while soft light creates a rounded gradient shadow. We break down these concepts and show you how to harness their power to improve your lighting.<br />

Advanced One Light Setups - Photography & Video Tutorial** Win a Spider Holster Pro Single Camera System: http://theslantedlens.com/2013/spider...
From Jay P. Morgan,
Today on the Slanted Lens we are shooting in a studio in downtown Los Angeles. We have beautiful Cynthia Chavez on our set and we will be exploring advanced lighting setups. Combining a single Dynalite strobe head with a Photoflex silver P22 reflector and a $15.00 dollar mirror from Home Depot we can make a single strobe head look like several heads on set. This is a look at advanced lighting with a single head. I hope you will find this advanced look at a single light setup helpful. It's important to remember that hard light from mirrors and silver reflectors becomes almost as powerful as the main light source and can create multiple light sources on set. A 15 dollar mirror from Home depot is a great investment. You can modify them much like a regular light with flags and scrims and even diffusion. Keep those cameras rollin and keep on clickn'.
