How do I set up three-point lighting for my video shoot?

Three-point lighting involves using three light sources: key light, fill light, and back light. Would you like details on each?

Yes, please explain the key light first.

The key light is the main light source and should be placed at a 45-degree angle to your subject. It creates the primary illumination.

What about the fill light?

The fill light softens shadows created by the key light. It should be placed opposite the key light, at a lower intensity.

And the back light?

The back light, or hair light, is placed behind the subject to create depth and separation from the background.
