Cinematic Video Lighting

This course is a part of Become a Documentary Filmmaker, a 11-course Learning Path series from LinkedIn Learning.

There's no reason to fall back on the same old 3-point lighting techniques for every shoot. Cinematic lighting, which takes its cue from film, can add drama and visual interest to any production. Using diffusion, small tweaks in color temp, bounced light, and other cinematic lighting tricks, you can achieve a much richer look and feel.
