Lighting is key. Lighting not only sets the mood for the entire video, but it also helps focus attention on your video’s subject. Really good lighting is somewhat hard to obtain, without a talented lighting director and quality equipment. Obtaining the right light has become an art in the video production world. There are a few simple steps that you can do on your own, to greatly improve your lighting on your own filming set.
Always set lights up in front of your subject. Setting lights up behind the subject can darken the entire video, as it overwhelms the lens of the camera. To further improve your lighting, place a transparent sheet over a window and have the subject face the window. The sheet causes a diffused light look, which almost always softens the subject. In addition, you can use a reflective piece of white cardboard to help bounce the light onto your subject. It also helps eliminate any shadows in and around the room.
If you feel like background needs a bit of light to help add depth, add a lamp. It will lighten the background and eliminate any heavy shadows behind the subject.
