Regardless of what you’re filming (it could be an interview, YouTube video, music video, TV show, etc.) you need great lighting to get great footage. If you neglect your lighting, your video footage will look amateur, and you will be left wondering why. So, in this course, I’m going to walk you through the different types of light, different lighting setups and how you can convert a boring location into a visually pleasing location using your lights. This will be achieved by a collection of different lessons and three case studies. These case studies will show you what my thought process is when lighting a room and I will explain what I’m doing, and more importantly, why I’m doing it.

This course is perfect for beginner and intermediate level video creators looking to improve the quality of their work. This course can also serve as a refresher for those creatives who are a little more experienced. However, this course isn’t just aimed at video creators, if you need to film a video for your company, you want a more visually pleasing image in your Zoom meetings or you’re filming something for Instagram, lighting can go a long way in improving what you’re creating. So, even if you’re not that interested in video production, learning how to light your videos can help massively.

So, with all of that said and done, let’s jump into the world of video lighting.
