Lighting
> Introduction

Light tells a story. Most people don't
understand just how important lighting
is as a storytelling tool.

Most
beginners are amazed at how much time and energy goes
into lighting for television. It's hard to fathom (unless
you have been on a professional shoot) how many lights
are necessary to create a quality image.
Right
now you may be thinking "I don't have to worry
too much about lights because my camera gets a good
image without lights." But that's flawed thinking,
because quality lighting is not about getting ENOUGH
light on the subject. Rather the focus is getting the
right KIND of light in exactly the right place.
Knowing
how to manipulate light is truly the hallmark of professional
production.
