In photography school they explained this to me in a couple of courses taking over a few months.
Parker explainded this in 10 minutes. Better.
Seriously. The days of foolish professors charging tens of thousands for unnecessarily long, time-sucking college are coming to an end.
Dusty O'Daffer it’s depends what you want from Uni lecturers. Do you want a quick explainer with some atrocious examples or do you want 3 months of practical based exercises, specific examples, historical context, leads to further in the field, finding collaborators you will have with your for life and using the time there to develop not only technical skills, but practical skills (production), collaborators, developing a deeper understanding of filmmaking as a craft and as an art, and developing your tastes through exposing yourself to film, film makers and alternate ideas you may not come into contact with outside of an institution.
Can everything be learnt on UA-cam now? Yes. But one thing you will quickly realize is that getting a professional image is one thing but if you want to make films that have the potential to lead to feature films then the technical standard will likely be a minimum met by thousand and thousands of film makers. So although absolutely important, once there is meaningless and it because about you as an artist, your perspective, your sensibilities, your ability to tell a story within the cinematic form that shows your distinctive voice.
Finding that is so much harder and so much more important than attaining technical proficiency. Check out the short films of Barry Jenkins, Sofia Coppola and even the whiplash short, technically they are fine but what they Have is perspective and a distinctive voice rather than this which outside the main interview and when the thumbnail stills are shown are just atrociously shot interviews.
@@daffertube That may be the case for videography, but you're never going to learn a semester's worth of physics modules by spending a day watching UA-cam videos. Also, college professors aren't just wasting your time and conning you out of your money; they design the courses like that for a reason.
@@David-ud9ju justifying the cost? ... come to terms, friend. There's support groups out there..
but of couse he didn't learn all that in 10 minutes bro
I've watched hundreds of light tutorial videos on UA-cam, this is the best of them all, thanks Parker,
Same. Detailed, straight-up info. Will be watching a few times.
I have a similar video on lighting in the real world for photos I think y'all would enjoy you should check it out and maybe even subscribe and my channel just starting posting on the channel but it's gonna get good we have a lot of sick stuff coming up so I think you should check it out: ua-cam.com/channels/h5P2s5ykMOEUPfdR8byFww.html
Yes If its detail its the most detail, but ben jonshon has 2 m on their lighting tutorial and its only been 1 year Its not as detail it is I think its just its so simple rather than this and the result are the best that are simple
Thanks proho, I’ll act accordingly
*Notes*
LIGHTING (8:20). Lighting makes shadows. Shadows give you that 3D effect (some depth), instead of looking 2D and flat.
_Key Light_ = The main light that you'll use. It's normally placed slightly above your subject and about 45 degrees from the camera, off to one side. Be aware of the placement of your key light, cause if you don't you'll end up looking like a racoon or a creepy pasta character.
_Catch light_ (2:52) = The reflection of light seen in the subject's eyes. It makes the subject come to life.
*5 Types of lighting depending on the placement of the _KEY LIGHT_ *
1. Flat lighting (3:27). You put the light straight to the face of your subject. It gives a 2D effect. No depth, not cinematic or dramatic. Usually used in commercials and beauty shots.
2. Paramount or butterfly lighting (4:00). You put the light straight to the face, but from a slightlly upper angle. It gives a butterfly shadow under the nose, a drop shadow at the chin, and it gives depth to the face. Usually for face portraits of women (4:17)
3. Loop lighting (4:58). You put the light like you would on the 2nd type of lighting, but you go to one side (left or right), don't stay in the middle. It's used for rounder faces.
4. Rembrandt lighting (5:18). You put the light the way you would in the 3rd type, but even further on the side. It makes a triangle of light. It's a very famous way of lighting, it gives off that cinematic look, it makes the images pop and look three dimensional. There are two sub-categories of this one:
-Broad light (5:48), where you position the camera on the brighter side of your subject
-Short light or dark side lighting (5:52), where you position the camera on the darker side of your subject. It's more dramatic.
5. Split lighting (6:07), the camera is slightly above the head and *all* the way to one side. It splits the subject to half bright and half dark. It's super dramatic, and it can make people look more masculine.
But except for the key light, we also have a second one, that is called:
_Back light_ = light comes from the back
_Rim light_ = light is more to the side
_Hair light_ = light is slightly above the subject
You use this in order to mimic that golden hour look, the halo effect (6:48)
And we also have a third light, which is called:
_Fill light_ (7:28) = fills in light, usually placed on the opossite side of our key light
Fill light can make the shadows look less dramatic, but it depends on what you're going for, as seen here 7:39. It can either be:
-high key lighting (7:49), gives off less dramatic and light hearted look, it is usually used in comedies, realities, beauty shots etc
-low key light (7:59), more contrast. It's considered more cinematic and dramatic.
Characteristics of light:
_Checkerboard lighting_ (8:57)= Your background is dark where the face is bright and the backround is bright when the face is dark.
The color= You can use a gel (9:05) and have a colorful background, to create contrast.
Thank you!
Woah! Exactly why I came to the comments section. Thank you.
Screen cap this one!
You must be good at school xD Thank you!
At this point you can listen to the producer or go to the library and grab a text book on cinematic lighting, dont understand why everyone always makes these bullet note type comments as if there gunna give u the info before the vid, Much rather watch what's happening then read this shit.
WOW, this was about the most informative, helpful lighting video I've ever seen on UA-cam. Thanks Parker!
This is BY FAR the best lighting tutorial I’ve ever seen in youtube. Super well explained and condensed. Congrats!
Completely agree!
You need to watch more lighting tutorials then, I've seen a ton and this isn't saying anything new, it's actually just recycled information from other videos like most you tubers ALL do. No one is unique at this shit and if you are you aren't sharing your secrets.
100 percent agree!
@@davidortiz7 no where in the video did i hear him say that he come up with these terms ...Im pretty sure he kept referring to hollywood and the film industry and what they would call it. I have seen a few lighting vids (not all) but this is definitely a solid video around lighting and the reasons why ...
Manwell Haumu I don't know why UA-camrs want cinematic look if your aren't creating films for the cinema. It's UA-cam not rocket science.
Thank you so much this was amazing info. I just learned more in 10 mins then film school. haha
Yes this video was awesome. I made a video of my Cinematic Lighting using affordable lights. Watch it here:ua-cam.com/video/-1Lin8qucmw/v-deo.html

Would you give the lights to purchase lighting I need to get them.
The most in-depth while easy to understand lighting tutorial I have ever had the privledge of discovering and watching. This helps me out so much, thank you!
When I first knew about your course in an Instagram ad, I thought it would be crappy due to the amount of advertisement that it that, it felt kinda greedy and desesperated at the same time, even seemed fake!
But after giving it a try..Even only with the free stuff.. My god dude! This is gold!! Without a doubt the best course in filmaking ever posted on the Internet. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience, I'm ashamed of my bad thoughts!
A lot of lightning videos out there on youtube, but this one is phenomenally the best of all of them. thank you so much . i need to watch this again
its helping me so much for a beginner.. ohman
thanks!!!

Just learned more about lighting in 10 minutes then I did in 4 years of college..
LOL! actualy!
You also studied economics?
This man is a lighting god. I’ve never heard so much quality information about a single light in my life. Damn, really knows his stuff this guy 🙏
This was almost two years ago and we lack the rest of the series. This is an amazing video, please continue the series, please.
This is one of the best general lighting video that I've ever seen
One of the most informative videos about lightning so far. Thank you!
When I went to college and took a lighting class we spent 2 hours covering the history of the first lights in cinema and another 2 hours talking about the basics of modern light hardware.
I dropped the course immediately because I was bored to death and knew I could learn faster on the internet.
I'm happy to see how far youtube has brought us. The days of lazy college professors and days of expensive, drawn-out classes are coming to an end and you're one of the pioneers who's shifting the paradigm.
Thank you :)
This was so useful, I know little to nothing about film making, but this was explained so well that I understood everything. I'm not film making person, I'm here to get some insight on lighting and shadows so my art can improve. Thanks dude
Not only is this great info, this was a phenomenal video! Very well thought out! I’m sharing!
Best lighting tutorial I've ever seen. Hands down.
Damn, this is seriously the BEST lighting video on youtube ever! Why haven't I discovered this earlier? Thumb up for you my friend 👍
I love finding new tutorials because every one has a little bit different things to offer, and photog's are never "too good" for new information. Good stuff!!
I'm just getting into film making and have really been struggling with lighting. This video is great! so clear and useful! I will definitely be trying to implement these techniques in my next project! Thanks a lot!
Always dropping those valuable tutorials man!
POlCE
I did a lighting course earlier this year and it was really helpful. However, this video went way way wayyy more in depth and I learnt a hell of a lot more! Thank you so much Parker. Your videos have really helped my career.
Have seen/read about this stuff in fragments, but love the way it was all connected together by moving the light in realtime. Best and most concise explanation I've found yet. Kudos!
I have a film degree, studied lighting for 6 years and I must say this is the BEST video I have seen on lighting. Great job man!
Agreed. I went to college for this stuff and this was a great refresher video.
Really great video and well explained with good examples.

This is one of the most helpful, succinct trainings on lighting that I've seen in quite some time. Thank you for this!
Parker - I've been working on my UA-cam videos for the past 6 months and struggled and struggled to figure out lighting! I've watched a ton of videos on it, but YOURS was the one that helped me figure it out! Even though I had them at the right angles, I had been placing my lights WAY too far away! I still don't have it perfected, but it's MUCH better thanks to you! Thank you!
On the 7th of February 2019, I watched the best ever tutorial video on UA-cam, and I've seen many.
Thank you.
That was ten months ago now. Oh how time flies...
This Vid was SLICK. Thanks for the incredibly concise information, So well packaged.

@@matthewfoote12 good luck dude, but spamming your content in comments is bad form
One of the most insightful videos on the internet about cinematic lighting or lighting in general. Deep, rich and straight to the point. Thank you
This is hands down the best UA-cam video on lighting. I can't believe I hadn't found your channel a longer time ago. Can't wait to watch more of your inspiring videos. 💮❤️
notification squad. I am always looking forward to your videos, they are high quality and very educational. Have a nice day Parker
Your tutorial is very precise and to-the-point. Quality content. Thanks a lot sir
That catchlight detail seems unnoticeable but when you explained it properly and showed it directly, it makes a lot of sense more than I know. That's my personal catch. Your team is very awesome!🙌🙌
What so intelligent about Parker is that his Marketing material is genuinely educational- like "raise your game" type educational.
The idea of invest in your audience so they can invest in you is very much " Parker" trade mark.
I only thought its possible to get into photography by watching your videos.
I know everyone else trying to help but your material, presentation, range of information, level of details etc its the real deal mate.
I find it unique .. wish you well.
man this was so helpful and easy the way you showed each type thanks and keep filming

Awesome video man!
Dark lighting is my go to for interviews because it’s simple and yet it come out amazing if pulled off correctly.
Dude, incredible tutorial. So simple and thorough. Thanks for sharing this.
Where is the part 2?
Whoaaaa! Thanks for the tutorial... Now i'm waiting for the part 2.
Yep! AnggaKun... Me 2... He didn't uploaded it yet...
He won't. At the expense of all his subscribers who watch and give him money, he's uploading this to his website, which you have to access through a $$$ subscription. Very bad practice.
This is one of the best video on lighting on the internet, quality content + quantity / time ratio. So much in 10 min. Thank you sir.
For an amateur like me this was a treasure chest of helpful info, most helpful video without taking up a lot of time.
Yo this was a really well put together video nice job. Also what camera do you use for the lighting examples it’s really clean
Damn this is the best lighting video I've ever seen!!
I have to pay for part 2 :(
u deserve this pal, good job and u are my mentor
@@fulltimefilmmaker Where do we find your part 2 video?
Don't forget that the price shown is without VAT.
Literally the best video on lighting I've ever seen. This was so informative and helpful! It was the perfect speed for me, not too fast and I appreciate that you gave definitions to lighting terms! Thank you!!!
Your tutorials are one of the best! They all cover key elements for each topic and has an effective layout through out the video.
Goodness fukken gracious phenomenal vdo... I’m subscribing and contemplating paying for the web because of this vid!!

Who are you? How did I get here? Why haven’t I found you sooner? Great video, better than most other tutorials I have watched.
Mind. Blown. I've known and understood 3-point lighting for many, many years but only because "that's just what we do" as opposed to the actual reasoning behind the magic. Thanks!
I think this is "the" best video on lighting and also which covers every nuke and corner without boring people, this is awesome!, cant wait for part two!
I almost clicked off the video thinking "who's this guy?"....realized you just didn't have your hat on. Awesome video btw!

I concur with most of the comments here. Probably the best light tutorial video in all of youtube!
Anyone else watching in 2019 😃 ?Great tutorial, thank you for sharing this info 🙏 ! Where can we see Part 2 ?
Did you find part 2?
Coralie Arlidge No ☹️
That's a bummer, I really enjoyed part 1
Its in his FT Course at his website.
7:28 the guy “I wonder how I’m going my life came to this...”
This is single handedly the best explanation I've seen for lighting. Thank you so much for your time!
This is everything in a nutshell. A natural presenter. Great job.

Hey Parker, I'm seeking ideas for short film documentary type videos for my channel. There's one big twist though which is I'm limited to using only stock footage & b roll to create my videos, no actors/interviews etc. Although this style of creating videos is widely frowned upon by professional filmmakers who shoot their own scenes etc, it's something I enjoy doing & find very convenient & affordable. Long story short, I used to make daily/weekly videos w/minimal dialogue on various current events via creative commons using licensed stock footage in addition to 3rd party news clips/archive footage etc. The result was a mix between a dramatic short film/unorthodox doc.. Due to recent UA-cam policy changes which now require original commentary for videos, I've been left w/no other option but to delete nearly all my preexisting content & millions of views. I'm now in the stages of starting over from scratch in attempts to salvage my channel that I worked so hard on creating. My new plan is something completely different which is foreign to me, & that includes incorporating original scripts for each video which will be narrated by a voice over artist & written by an award winning screenwriter... The goal is to create informative proper short film docs minus the traditional format which includes interviewees etc as previously mentioned.. Since I previously made videos with no script or dialogue & rather just "winged it" on each video given my frequent upload rate, I'm now having an extremely difficult time coming up with new ideas. I mainly focused on geopolitical tensions & day to day news/current events instead of topics that were thought of in advance & created from scratch. The only genres I've come up with so far include humanitarian issues, climate matters, endangered species, sci-fi/space, military & politics. Although I can branch out on these various topics I'm looking to expand the list for more options. The transition from video news journalism to narrated short films is much tougher than I ever anticipated. Any opinions or advice would be welcomed & greatly appreciated!

You do the ABSOLUTE BEST video tutorials on all of the interwebs! Thank you!
now i know why u always were hat XD
Great video, my only gripe, is that while you are helping us achieve a more professional look, your help was chewing gum throughout, making him look very nervous & it made the content with him in it unprofessional and distracting to the voiceover.
Probably the best explanation of lighting I have ever seen. Well done Parker!
6 mins into it and I am going to already say this is the most well done lesson I have seen on UA-cam ever.
Quick, easy, simple to follow, straight to the point. Excellent.
One of the most high quality tutorial ever seen... Well organized and extremely well explained... Lots of questions answered in ten minutes... I appreciate the whole work :)
I love the way you have explained it. Thank you so much.
The best tutorial on lighting I have have seen and I've seen a lot of them. Thank you.
this is super useful, I have been doing lighting for video games for years but almost always environment lighting. This is a really great overview for character lighting and cinematics, which I would love to do more of in future. thanks for the super high quality overview!
Hi Parker, I should say thanks to you for your guidance and amazing info, needless to say you are an inspiration for people like me who are trying to be pro on video making. Thanks again, keep shining brother. Cheers!!
I liked the presentation! I know what I like that is cinematic but not exactly how to achieve it properly so this was quite helpful!
Yes Yes Yes and more Yes..... Best lighting tute I have seen in decades. Well done and thank god someone is talking about classic cinema lighting. While there is a place and a time for ultra realistic natural lighting - all the unlit flatness that is so popular is exhausting to watch all the time.
You won it, thank you for the full basics that beginners need to know for a great start !
Omg the checkered background. I love the breakdown. Thanks man. You make us better.
Best video on UA-cam so far on this subject in my opinion.
This is exactly what I needed to know! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
excellent advice and great attention to detail with a master touch when it comes to delivering the message and teaching with confidence, wow, thank you soooooo much!!! (I am barely starting and desperately need to learn the basics so I can correct the millions of mistakes in my tiny poor videos), thank you very much for sharing real knowledge!!!!!!
Wow! Cinematic lighting is explained in the most basic and simple way that's easy to understand. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
this is legit the best information out there.
I got so tired of watching videos where people try to sell me useless shit all day long.
