1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,730
in my book the first step when it comes
to understanding lighting is to
2
00:00:03,730 --> 00:00:09,400
understand the five most common or the
five primary key lighting patterns now
3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,019
the key light is simply the primary
light over your subject you can call the
4
00:00:13,019 --> 00:00:15,740
key light you can call the main like
whatever you want to call it it's
5
00:00:15,740 --> 00:00:19,930
totally fine technically is referred to
as a ki ora me but we're gonna do is
6
00:00:19,930 --> 00:00:23,689
demonstrate and show you basically what
these key light patterns are grateful
7
00:00:23,689 --> 00:00:27,650
gonna show you the direction of how the
light is coming on to the subject and
8
00:00:27,650 --> 00:00:30,970
what the characteristics of the market
each one of them is great for different
9
00:00:30,970 --> 00:00:36,190
purposes so it's gonna start now for
these we have our lovely real-life model
10
00:00:36,190 --> 00:00:40,680
Olivia here is actually our shoot
producer and she's our wardrobe hair and
11
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:46,930
makeup artist who works with us and we
have her best friend in the shoot to let
12
00:00:46,930 --> 00:00:53,640
me introduce you all to need a year ago
now I don't know really how many that
13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:59,699
sounds or what her accent should be but
this is Anita Anita body and about a
14
00:00:59,699 --> 00:01:00,190
real bad
15
00:01:00,190 --> 00:01:07,119
okay so he's merely head model and
Nandita is olivia is practice hair and
16
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:10,240
makeup model that she used to use going
through school so thanks to olivia
17
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,060
providing this creepy little head for us
to you demonstrate to you I'm really
18
00:01:14,060 --> 00:01:17,860
appreciate it but the great thing about
this is that using our little light
19
00:01:17,860 --> 00:01:23,509
panel chrome array here I wanna show you
all kind of the position of the light in
20
00:01:23,509 --> 00:01:27,710
relation to the face and you're gonna
see in the video as well but it'll be
21
00:01:27,710 --> 00:01:31,409
easier to see if I can ship them back
and forth it can see it almost in kind
22
00:01:31,409 --> 00:01:35,409
of 3d and see the space and exact
position and placement so forth so let's
23
00:01:35,409 --> 00:01:38,610
go ahead start from the top number one
we have flat light now flat lighting is
24
00:01:38,610 --> 00:01:42,229
basically where the light is directly
coming into the face now this could be
25
00:01:42,229 --> 00:01:46,490
from a light its place behind the camera
or could be just barely above the lens
26
00:01:46,490 --> 00:01:48,790
so it's going to come to wrecking the
place like this
27
00:01:48,790 --> 00:01:52,170
generally when you are flatlining you
don't want to come from below the lens
28
00:01:52,170 --> 00:01:55,229
you always want from above the left is
gonna look unnatural anything good
29
00:01:55,229 --> 00:01:57,390
coming from below will look natural
30
00:01:57,390 --> 00:02:00,700
so this is what it looks like if I
turned to the side if this flat light
31
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:05,200
goes directly onto the face what is flat
like good for well
32
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,879
what light has very little shadow ok so
if you look at this
33
00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:14,459
officials in all the shadows on the face
so great about flat light is it's very
34
00:02:14,459 --> 00:02:18,810
non dramatic ok it's going to create a
very flattering look because it's gonna
35
00:02:18,810 --> 00:02:22,700
fill in all the lines and all the
wrinkles and all the imperfections and
36
00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:27,090
it's going to really create a beautiful
overall look so we use it for headshots
37
00:02:27,090 --> 00:02:30,580
which will demonstrate like a nice
little square light setup that will give
38
00:02:30,580 --> 00:02:34,000
you a beautiful flower light and we're
also going to use it well we do our
39
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,049
direct / editorial shots and so far they
created a really fantastic looked at the
40
00:02:38,049 --> 00:02:42,720
images and and don't think that just
because the light has no direction is
41
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,220
not a good light it is it's great for
these types of shots the next one we're
42
00:02:47,220 --> 00:02:51,510
just gonna move in a just the lights in
a very subtle way and we're gonna do is
43
00:02:51,510 --> 00:02:55,610
get to butterfly lighting with his
number two butterfly or paramount now
44
00:02:55,610 --> 00:02:58,970
it's called paramount because the actual
studio Paramount use this type of
45
00:02:58,970 --> 00:03:02,890
lighting technique to light every single
one of their celebrity headshots for a
46
00:03:02,890 --> 00:03:07,150
long long time back in the old days of
hollywood so it became known as
47
00:03:07,150 --> 00:03:11,030
paramount lighting but this is basically
butterfly life and it's characterized by
48
00:03:11,030 --> 00:03:13,870
this little butterfly that you have
right underneath the nose a kind of
49
00:03:13,870 --> 00:03:16,450
create the wings and the pattern of a
butterfly attorney for those with that
50
00:03:16,450 --> 00:03:21,519
shadow so that light we move from flat
light simply up a little bit and we hang
51
00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:26,370
glide down ok so far right here and it's
straight over the face and then turned
52
00:03:26,370 --> 00:03:29,810
to the side a little too has can see it
this is our butterfly light and you can
53
00:03:29,810 --> 00:03:34,450
see that butterfly shadow just right
underneath the nose ok so this is again
54
00:03:34,450 --> 00:03:37,910
without diffusion but it's gonna look a
little bit different with the fusion now
55
00:03:37,910 --> 00:03:43,329
butterfly light is fantastic because
similar to WoW outlining its gonna come
56
00:03:43,329 --> 00:03:46,359
directly onto the face which means that
it fills in wrinkles and filter
57
00:03:46,359 --> 00:03:49,730
everything and if you use a reflector
underneath which creates clamshell
58
00:03:49,730 --> 00:03:54,150
letting you get a beautiful Phil and it
looks fantastic it's a very flattering
59
00:03:54,150 --> 00:03:58,450
beauty type light that often used for
beauty it's often used for portraits and
60
00:03:58,450 --> 00:03:59,220
so forth
61
00:03:59,220 --> 00:04:03,290
it again another great kind of similar
to fly but it does create a little more
62
00:04:03,290 --> 00:04:08,780
shadow than flatlining ok so moving from
butterfly we get to loop now loop is
63
00:04:08,780 --> 00:04:11,970
basically we take the life and it's
again above the subjects had a little
64
00:04:11,970 --> 00:04:17,750
bit but we move it off camera or just
off angle by around 25 C 50 degrees so
65
00:04:17,750 --> 00:04:24,160
this was where are paramount light was
loop is gonna be right about here we're
66
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,640
around 25 to 50 degrees we're starting
great just a little bit of a shadow that
67
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,970
comes off the nose and you can see that
it's just a little bit of an edge there
68
00:04:30,970 --> 00:04:35,660
so it's a great life because it creates
a slightly more dramatic look as it
69
00:04:35,660 --> 00:04:39,840
creates a little more shadow on the face
with flat light with butterfly light
70
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:43,580
it's very much kind of shuttle is
especially when we're using a lot of
71
00:04:43,580 --> 00:04:46,090
Phil and so forth there's really not a
lot of shadow which makes it very
72
00:04:46,090 --> 00:04:51,169
flattering but it's not a very dramatic
style of light once we get into loop has
73
00:04:51,169 --> 00:04:55,580
a little bit more drama to it it still
is covering most the face of light but
74
00:04:55,580 --> 00:04:59,210
with the direction why we get a little
more shadow on one side and hit a
75
00:04:59,210 --> 00:05:05,280
subject has a good versus a while I
wanna see a more flattering side we
76
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:09,380
might want to choose loop or even
Rembrandt lighting to kind of light into
77
00:05:09,380 --> 00:05:14,520
the side of them I prefer so as to get a
slightly more flattering look overall ok
78
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,860
so from that now we have loop which is
25 degrees say this is paramount here we
79
00:05:19,860 --> 00:05:22,900
got loop and don't mind me kind of
change the direction this is just for
80
00:05:22,900 --> 00:05:27,290
these purposes so if we are to look off
to the side here is loop right here so
81
00:05:27,290 --> 00:05:30,410
that's where it looks like in position
to the head
82
00:05:30,410 --> 00:05:34,419
ok we make sure that that the rain
shadow and then we go into rembrandt now
