I have taken a few photography classes, but I have never learned how to use lighting as a way to enhance my image. I found these readings to be very useful. As I was reading, I thought about the film we are about to shoot. I tried to think about where we will need lights and how we will use them to help the image. I think that the 3 point lighting technique is a straight forward method to use when starting out on a set. I am looking forward to learning more about the ways to light up a set.
I thought it was interesting about the tip on how to light women versus men. I have noticed that the lights are a lot of the time almost blown out on a lady's face. I wonder if this is just more flattering because it takes away some of the flaws? I like to watch old movies and I have noticed this before.
