We will review hard vs. soft light, the direction of the key and the ratio of key to fill. Making the best use of architecture and windows, and lighting backgrounds so as to add structural interest will be discussed. We will also illustrate the use of smoke, mist and dust to add texture, and show examples from various films utilizing these tools (including some over-use). We will then recreate some of these lighting setups, step by step, while referencing the monitor through the use of the DSLR camera. Some of the most important moments in film occur in close-ups. We will talk about finding the best angle, and demonstrate how to best light and compose a good close-up. A number of clips from memorable films with different "looks" will be shown, along with paintings by old masters, such as Rembrandt and Vermeer. The lighting will be broken down into understandable concepts. If time permits: we will talk about exterior lighting, light control and the use of reflectors, and butterflies.

"As a Director of Photography one should always go into a lighting set-up with a firm plan in mind, but be ready to throw it out the window if necessary. It is often the innumerable chance occurrences that happen as the lighting progresses that are the stuff that brilliance is made up of."
