Partial transcription of the video
“ Lighting: Knowledge in Action Now that we've covered all the basics, from camera functions to composition to understanding how natural light works, we're ready to shoot. Since we have a mood board and sketches, we know what to do. The only thing we need to figure out once we're on set is the perfect spot in which to set up. That is something we'll take a look at when we're on set together. The one thing that I'll do before I get on set is change into a black sweater to avoid a color cast. I'm ready, so let's go and shoot.”
