  • Want to learn how to light a cinematic night scene? I'm going to show you how. This is a quick tutorial on how to light a cinematic looking scene. Lighting is the key to cinematography. Of course you need to have a camera, but if you want to go pro you should know how to use light well. This video teaches you about three types of light sources you'll need for lighting for night, and how they each play with shadows. It's a lot easier than you might think. Lighting can create mood and atmosphere, as well as direct the viewer's attention towards the most important thing in the frame.

    Whenever possible, don't lean on ISO to light your night scenes for you. Light bright, grade dark.

    woww... great one Garrett... hey can you do another video on lighting a jungle scene or lighting a subject in front of a campfire with just fire as a primary light source and led for light the background? I would love to see that.

    • @garrettsammons
      @garrettsammons  2 роки тому +2

      I’ve got a fire one (literal not figurative) in the queue! We can also do one about stippled lighting like you’d find in a forest or jungle. Great suggestions!

      @@garrettsammons ohhhhh... cant wait to see that... actually I am about to shoot my 1st webseries (for youtube) where 85% of my script is based in the jungle... love to steal some ideas from you... and pleassse do it with fire alone where even if you do a full 360 degree shot, there wont be a problem to hide the electrical light source... thanks in advance :)
