Lighting

Lighting is an essential part of content creation.  We can use the lighting around us such as daylight, office lights etc however you may need to enhance your subject with additional lighting.

Without lighting your subject may not stand out and you may lose audience interest.  Lighting can create many effects and moods depending on the content.  Gels can be added to lights to create a bit of colour.

Lighting Kit

A selection of lights are best as you can highlight the subject with ease.  Some lighting  have dimmers which enable you to switch between tungsten and daylight settings.  Some lights enable you to change colours which can add variety to a background.
