Basic Lighting for Audiovisual Projects

X Introduction to photography direction for video

“Well now, yes, we're finished! I hope that the course has been useful for you and that it has provided you with enough tools for you to learn to enlighten and, what is more important for me, that you learn to express yourself and to be moved by the light. Before finalizing, I would like to give you some final advice: look at the light, the color and the use of space in all its artistic expressions: cinema, television, advertising, video clips, internet, theater, dance, concerts, exhibitions, architecture, interior design , painting, comics, photography, costumes ... Observing will help you to define your tastes and find your style. Start to educate your eyes to use the spaces (their lights, their leaks, their mirrors or windows ...) in your favor and find the best framings, the best lights, the best aesthetics of each place. See how the bars, shops, houses, streets and buildings are lit. And start thinking which ones you like best and why. Use your imagination, your cultural knowledge, your vital and emotional experiences to solve the situations that you have to face as a director of photography. And practice! That this is only the beginning. You have to record a lot to be able to learn to solve all the situations that you find and to define your style. This is a long distance race, but be calm, it's just a matter of practice and more practice. And keep teaching me your work in the forum. I really want to see you evolve. I will try to help you whenever the work allows me. Of course, remember that what I have taught you is just a guide for you to start looking for your own style and way of expressing yourself. Do not try to copy my lessons, or my jobs, we are each different and we have to look for what and how we want to tell our projects by ourselves. Anyway, thanks for trusting me. And, above all, thanks for putting so much desire, hope, talent and creativity. ”
