Question
What are the common lighting mistakes Paul Rogers highlights in his tutorials?
Answer
Sure, I can share some common lighting mistakes I've highlighted in my tutorials. Here they are:
-
Light too far: When the light source is too far, it can make the video look harsh and flat. The solution is to move the light closer.
-
Light too high: If the light is too high, it can create 'raccoon eyes' - dark shadows under the eyes. To fix this, drop the light to eye level.
-
No separation: Without proper lighting, the background can appear muddy and indistinct. To add depth and separation, consider adding an edge light.
Fixing these mistakes can give your videos an instant cinematic glow. Remember, lighting can make or break your video, so it's worth taking the time to get it right!
